The 2000 United States presidential election in Michigan took place on November 7, 2000, and was part of the 2000 United States presidential election. Voters chose 18 representatives, or electors to the Electoral College, who voted for president and vice president.
Michigan was won by Vice President Al Gore by a margin of 5.1%. The western part of the state, which is more rural, was overwhelmingly Republican and Bush won most of the congressional districts and counties in that region of the state. His best performance was in Ottawa County, where he won with over 70%. Gore did fairly well in the eastern region of the state. His best performance was in Wayne County, the highest populated county in the state and home of the city of Detroit. He won the county with 69%, with his second best performance in Genesee County, where he got over 62% of the vote.[3]
This election marked the first time since 1976 in which Michigan's electoral votes did not go to the overall winner of the general election, although the state was carried by the candidate who ultimately won the popular vote.
Bush became the first ever Republican to win the White House without carrying Kalamazoo or Muskegon Counties, as well as the first to do so without carrying Alpena or Oakland Counties since Benjamin Harrison in 1888, the first to do so without carrying Ingham County since William McKinley in 1896, and was the first Republican since Richard Nixon in 1968 to win the White House without carrying Michigan. It was also the only other state in the Midwest besides Illinois where Gore won by a majority of votes.
In the Detroit suburbs, Gore won both Oakland and Macomb counties. The last time the two counties backed different candidates was in 1968. However, the election marked the last time the more blue-collar Macomb County voted to the left of the more white-collar Oakland County.
Michigan was one of ten states that backed George H. W. Bush for President in 1988 that didn’t back George W. Bush in either 2000 or 2004.
