Bill Clinton Democratic George W. Bush Republican The 2000 United States presidential election in the District of Columbia took place on November 7, 2000, as part of the 2000 United States presidential election.
The District of Columbia voted by an extremely large margin in favor of the D.C. born, Democratic candidate Al Gore with 85.16% of the vote.
The District and neighboring Maryland were the only jurisdictions where Gore improved upon Bill Clinton's performance.
This election is one of three occasions where only two electoral votes were cast by a place in a presidential election: the others were in Mississippi in 1820, as one of the state's three electors died before the Electoral College convened and there was insufficient time to find a replacement; and in Nevada in 1864 due to one of the electors getting snowbound and there being no law to replace him.
