The other two electors vote based on the statewide results. Vice President Al Gore, the Democratic nominee, won the state with 49.09% of the vote over Republican Governor of Texas George W. Bush, who received 43.97%.http://uselectionatlas.org/RESULTS/ United States Presidential Election Results 2020 11 As of the 2024 presidential election, this is the last election in which Waldo County and Lincoln County voted for the Republican candidate.
