The 2000 Mississippi Democratic presidential primary took place on March 14, 2000, as one of several states voting the week after Super Tuesday in the Democratic Party primaries for the 2000 presidential election. The Mississippi primary was an open primary, with the state awarding 48 delegates towards the 2020 Democratic National Convention, of which 37 were pledged delegates allocated on the basis of the results of the primary.
Vice president Al Gore overwhelmingly won the primary in the southern state and every county with 89% of the vote, winning all of the 37 delegates, as he was the only candidate to get above 15% of the vote statewide. Senator Bill Bradley missed the 15% threshold, and so he only received zero district delegates.
Procedure
Mississippi was one of six states which held primaries on March 14, 2000, alongside Florida, Louisiana, Oklahoma, Tennessee, and Texas after Super Tuesday the week before.Presidential Primaries, Caucuses, and Conventions Chronologically - Key and Minor Dates https://www.thegreenpapers.com/PCC/ChAll.html The Green Papers September 13, 2023
Voting took place throughout the state from 7:00 a.m. until 7:00 p.m. In the open primary, candidates had to meet a threshold of 15 percent at the congressional district or statewide level in order to be considered viable. The 37 pledged delegates to the 2000 Democratic National Convention were allocated proportionally on the basis of the results of the primary. Of these, between 4 and 5 were allocated to each of the state's 5 congressional districts and another 5 were allocated to party leaders and elected officials (PLEO delegates), in addition to 8 at-large delegates.Mississippi Democratic Delegation 2000 https://www.thegreenpapers.com/PCC/MS-D.html The Green Papers December 23, 2000 September 14, 2023
