Counties that flipped from Democratic to Republican[edit]

By congressional district[edit]

Due to the state's low population, only one congressional district is allocated. This district is called the At-Large district, because it covers the entire state, and thus is equivalent to the statewide election results.

District Bush Gore Representative
At-large 60.3% 37.6% John Thune

Electors[edit]

Main article: List of 2000 United States presidential electors
