Another election is quite recent and it happened in 2000. In the elections between Al Gore, the Democratic candidate, and George Bush, the Republican candidate, the popular vote went to Al Gore, but the winner of the elections was George Bush because of the electoral votes. The elections were narrow and Florida votes were deciding on who the president would be. There was a lot of controversy and recounting and also the fact that Florida governor was Jeb Bush, George's brother, so many naturally accused them of rigging it. It went to the Supreme court and the votes were after a close struggle awarded to George Bush who became the president.
