The popular vote did not match the results of the Electoral College.
which means the people voted in a different way than the Electoral College who is supposed to represent them.

George W. Bush won the Electoral College with 271 votes to Al Gore’s 266. Gore, however, won the popular vote by a margin of 543,895 votes. This means that although more people voted for Vice President Gore, Governor Bush won the election. Some people view this as a drawback of the Electoral College.
