Bush's victory in the 2000 presidential election over incumbent Vice President Al Gore. This event was notable in that Gore, who had narrowly failed to secure the deciding state of Florida after a series of controversial recount proceedings, presided over the certification of his own election loss in his role as President of the Senate. Multiple Democratic representatives attempted to object to the certification of Bush's Florida electoral votes throughout the session, however no senator from either party signed onto the objections.Mitchell Alison 2001-01-07 Over Some Objections, Congress Certifies Electoral Vote https://www.nytimes.com/2001/01/07/us/over-some-objections-congress-certifies-electoral-vote.html subscription live https://web.archive.org/web/20110207100228/http://www.nytimes.com/2001/01/07/us/over-some-objections-congress-certifies-electoral-vote.html 2011-02-07 2024-11-30 The New York TimesWalsh Edward Edward J.

Background Electoral College United States Electoral College Certificate of ascertainment Certificate of vote The United States Electoral College is the group of presidential electors required by the Article Two of the Constitution to form every four years for the sole purpose of electing the president and vice president. Each state appoints electors according to its legislature, equal in number to its congressional delegation (senators and representatives). Federal office holders cannot be electors. Of the current 538 electors, an absolute majority of 270 or more electoral votes is required to elect the president and vice president.Thomas H.

Individual votes can also be objected to, and are also not counted. If there are no objections or all objections are overruled, the presiding officer simply includes a state's votes, as declared in the certificate of vote, in the official tally. After the certificates from all states are read and the respective votes are counted, the presiding officer simply announces the final state of the vote. This announcement concludes the joint session and formalizes the recognition of the president-elect and of the vice president-elect. The senators then depart from the House chamber. The final tally is printed in the Senate and House journals.June 2025 Faithless elector Barbara Lett-Simmons, a Democratic elector from the District of Columbia, cast a blank ballot in the Electoral College rather than vote for Al Gore for president and Joe Lieberman for vice president as was expected, in protest of the District of Columbia's lack of a voting representative in Congress.Stout David December 19, 2000 The 43rd President: The Electoral College; The Electors Vote, and the Surprises Are Few The New York Times https://www.nytimes.com/2000/12/19/us/43rd-president-electoral-college-electors-vote-surprises-are-few.html November 30, 2009 But it was Mr. Gore who suffered an erosion today. Barbara Lett Simmons, a Gore elector from the District of Columbia, left her ballot blank to protest what she called the capital's "colonial status" – its lack of a voting representative in Congress.Being Counted, Baltimore SUN, Today Section, 2/5/01, re: Barbara Lett-Simmons vote as a D.

Finally, she wrote: "This blank ballot is cast for all the colonists of the District of Columbia." The ballot, the first of its kind since 1864, was intended to protest what she referred to as the federal district's "colonial status". She described her blank ballot as an act of civil disobedience, not an act of a faithless elector; she supported Gore and said she would have voted for him if she had thought he had a chance to win. Joint Session of Congress Objection to certification of Florida's electoral votes thumb|Counting of Electoral College votes 2001 2000 United States presidential election in Florida 2000 United States presidential election recount in Florida Before the counting of the electoral votes began, Democratic representative Peter Deutsch of Florida attempted a point of order: "Mr. Vice President, we have just completed the closest election in American history." Deutsch was promptly gavelled down by Gore on the grounds that no debate is allowed in the joint session. The count started in a relatively normal fashion. After California's 54 votes were counted in favor of the Democratic ticket, Gore "playfully pumped his fist in the air", according to The New York Times. Teller Chaka Fattah, before reading Florida's certificate, commented, "This is the one we have all been waiting for."Congressional Record (Bound Edition), Volume 147 (2001), Part 1 - COUNTING ELECTORAL VOTES--JOINT SESSION OF THE HOUSE AND SENATE HELD PURSUANT TO THE PROVISIONS OF SENATE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION 1 https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/CRECB-2001-pt1/html/CRECB-2001-pt1-Pg101-7.htm 2025-06-02 www.govinfo.gov Representative Alcee Hastings of Florida was the first to object: "Mr. President, and I take great pride in calling you that, I must object because of the overwhelming evidence of official misconduct, deliberate fraud, and an attempt to suppress voter turnout." In response, Gore reminded Hastings that no debate is allowed during the joint session and asked if Hastings's request was in writing and signed by a senator. Hastings replied that the objection was in writing but not signed by a member of the Senate. Two additional Floridian representatives objected next. Carrie Meek failed to present the signature of a senator, as did Corrine Brown. Brown alleged that 16,000 African Americans were disenfranchised in Duval County before then returning to her seat. Eddie Bernice Johnson and Sheila Jackson Lee, both of Texas, in addition to Elijah Cummings of Maryland, were the next three representatives to attempt an objection. None, however were able to produce the signature of a senator. Maxine Waters of California then rose, objecting to the allegedly "fraudulent" electoral votes of Florida and stating that she did "not care that it is not signed by a Member of the Senate." Waters' attempted objection failed, with Gore commenting that "the rules do care, and the signature of a Senator is required." Representatives Barbara Lee of California, Cynthia McKinney of Georgia, Patsy Mink of Hawaii and Eva Clayton of North Carolina all attempted objections next, failing to produce any signatures from a senator. McKinney then rose for a second time to request that the House of Representatives withdraw from the ongoing joint session of Congress to "allow consideration of the facts surrounding the slate of electors from Florida", claiming that the signature of a senator would not be required to proceed with her motion. Gore did not recognize McKinney's claim, citing 3 U.S.C. § 15-18, and the motion was not received. Representative Bob Filner of California rose to attempt an objection but failed to produce a senator's signature. Representative Waters rose again to concur with McKinney's request that the House withdraw from the joint session, which similarly was not received. Representative Jesse Jackson Jr. of Illinois then attempted an objection, which also failed. Hastings rose again to ask whether it would be possible to "appeal the ruling of the Chair", which Gore dismissed in accordance with 3 U.S.C. § 17. Before returning to his seat, Hastings commented, "We did all we could, Mr. President," prompting laughter from Gore. Representative Waters then rose for a third time to ask for unanimous consent that Congress would debate the counting of Florida's electoral votes. Many of the assembled members of Congress laughed at Waters' suggestion, and Gore replied that the "request should not even be entertained." Finally, Jackson Jr. rose for a second time to request that a Democratic senator sign onto an objection to Florida's votes, which none did. There were no further objections, and Florida's electoral votes were then counted. As the tellers began reading the electoral votes of the next state, Georgia, numerous Democratic representatives walked out of the joint session.2001-01-06 COUNTING ELECTORAL VOTES--JOINT SESSION OF THE HOUSE AND SENATE HELD PURSUANT TO THE PROVISIONS OF SENATE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION 1; Congressional Record Vol. 147, No. 4 https://www.congress.gov/107/crec/2001/01/06/CREC-2001-01-06-pt1-PgH31-8.pdf live https://web.archive.org/web/20220315174320/https://www.congress.gov/107/crec/2001/01/06/CREC-2001-01-06-pt1-PgH31-8.pdf 2022-03-15 2024-11-30 Congress.gov2001-01-06 Electoral College Ballot Count https://www.c-span.org/video/?161423-1/electoral-college-ballot-count 2024-11-30 C-SPAN +StateElectoral votesWinnerFaithless electorsObjection raised byAlabama 9Bush/CheneyNoneNo ObjectionsAlaska 3Bush/CheneyNoneNo ObjectionsArizona 8Bush/CheneyNoneNo ObjectionsArkansas 6Bush/CheneyNoneNo ObjectionsCalifornia 54Gore/LiebermanNoneNo ObjectionsColorado 8Bush/CheneyNoneNo ObjectionsConnecticut 8Gore/LiebermanNoneNo ObjectionsDelaware 3Gore/LiebermanNoneNo ObjectionsDistrict of Columbia 3Gore/Lieberman1; cast blank ballotNo ObjectionsFlorida 25Bush/CheneyNoneBarbara Lee (D-CA-9) Maxine Waters (D-CA-35) Bob Filner (D-CA-50) Cynthia McKinney (D-GA-04) Patsy Mink (D-HI-2) Corrine Brown (D-FL-3) Carrie Meek (D-FL-17) Alcee Hastings (D-FL-23) Jesse Jackson Jr. (D-IL-2) Elijah Cummings (D-MD-7) Eva Clayton (D-NC-1) Sheila Jackson Lee (D-TX-18) Eddie Bernice Johnson (D-TX-30)Georgia 13Bush/CheneyNoneNo ObjectionsHawaii 4Gore/LiebermanNoneNo ObjectionsIdaho 4Bush/CheneyNoneNo ObjectionsIllinois 22Gore/LiebermanNoneNo ObjectionsIndiana 12Bush/CheneyNoneNo ObjectionsIowa 7Gore/LiebermanNoneNo ObjectionsKansas 6Bush/CheneyNoneNo ObjectionsKentucky 8Bush/CheneyNoneNo ObjectionsLouisiana 9Bush/CheneyNoneNo ObjectionsMaine 4Gore/LiebermanNoneNo ObjectionsMaryland 10Gore/LiebermanNoneNo ObjectionsMassachusetts 12Gore/LiebermanNoneNo ObjectionsMichigan 18Gore/LiebermanNoneNo ObjectionsMinnesota 10Gore/LiebermanNoneNo ObjectionsMississippi 7Bush/CheneyNoneNo ObjectionsMissouri 11Bush/CheneyNoneNo ObjectionsMontana 3Bush/CheneyNoneNo ObjectionsNebraska 5Bush/CheneyNoneNo ObjectionsNevada 4Bush/CheneyNoneNo ObjectionsNew Hampshire 4Bush/CheneyNoneNo ObjectionsNew Jersey 15Gore/LiebermanNoneNo ObjectionsNew Mexico 5Gore/LiebermanNoneNo ObjectionsNew York 33Gore/LiebermanNoneNo ObjectionsNorth Carolina 14Bush/CheneyNoneNo ObjectionsNorth Dakota 3Bush/CheneyNoneNo ObjectionsOhio 21Bush/CheneyNoneNo ObjectionsOklahoma 8Bush/CheneyNoneNo ObjectionsOregon 7Gore/LiebermanNoneNo ObjectionsPennsylvania 23Gore/LiebermanNoneNo ObjectionsRhode Island 4Gore/LiebermanNoneNo ObjectionsSouth Carolina 8Bush/CheneyNoneNo ObjectionsSouth Dakota 3Bush/CheneyNoneNo ObjectionsTennessee 11Bush/CheneyNoneNo ObjectionsTexas 32Bush/CheneyNoneNo ObjectionsUtah 5Bush/CheneyNoneNo ObjectionsVermont 3Gore/LiebermanNoneNo ObjectionsVirginia 13Bush/CheneyNoneNo ObjectionsWashington 11Gore/LiebermanNoneNo ObjectionsWest Virginia 5Bush/CheneyNoneNo ObjectionsWisconsin 11Gore/LiebermanNoneNo ObjectionsWyomingWith Wyoming's 3 electoral votes, George W.
