| | U.S. presidential election, 2000 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The U.S. presidential election of 2000 was one of the closest elections in U.S. history, decided by only 527 votes in the swing state of Florida. |
 | | Until this election, the 1888 election had been the most recent presidential election in which the winners of the popular and electoral vote differed. |
 | | According to Anthony Salvado, a political scientist at the University of California, Irvine, who acted as a consultant on the media recount, most of the errors were caused by ballot design, ballot wording, and efforts by voters to choose both a president and a vice-president. |
