1 answer:

3 0

The author states that the Soviet Union’s launch of Sputnik caused the United States to begin investing in science, technology, and innovation. Sputnik’s successful launch caused this reaction in the United States because the Cold War led Americans to fear the possibility of the Soviet Union leading the world in science and technology. Rather than give in to fear or hide from challenges, the United States stepped up and made a commitment to science, math, and innovation.

sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

In the national popular vote, Gore received 48.4 percent while Bush received 47.9, losing by over 540,000 votes. U.S. presidents, however, are chosen by the Electoral College, a system in which “electoral votes” are assigned to states based on their population and then awarded as a lump sum to the winner of the popular vote in that state – currently, it takes 270 electoral votes to win. By the end of Election Night, 2000, Gore’s tally stood at 250 and Bush’s stood at 246 with Oregon, Wisconsin and Florida too close to call.
