The 2000 United States presidential election in Nevada took place on November 7, 2000, and was part of the 2000 United States presidential election. Voters chose four representatives, or electors to the Electoral College, who voted for president and vice president.
Nevada was won by Texas Governor George W. Bush, who won the state with 49.52% of the vote over Al Gore, who took 45.98%. Bush won every county except Clark County, which is home of Las Vegas. Bush also won Nevada's 2nd congressional district, as Gore won Nevada's 1st congressional district. Also, Ralph Nader got over 2% of the vote.[1] This was also the most recent presidential election (while also being the only time since 1976, and the second time since 1908), when Nevada did not side with the winner of the popular vote. Nevada was one of many states decided by close margins; had Gore won the Silver State's 4 electoral votes, the election would have gone his way.
Nevada weighed in as 2% more Republican than the national average; in the previous election, it was 4% more Republican. The state was returned to the Republican column regardless. This is the only time New Mexico and Nevada have ever voted for different candidates since New Mexico's first election in 1912. As of 2020, this is the most recent election where Nevada voted to the right of Florida and Missouri.
Nevada was one of nine states that had supported Clinton twice that Gore (whom was sitting VP at the time of the election) lost to Bush.
