  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.
This election was only the fourth or fifth time in United States history that a candidate had won the Presidency while losing the nationwide popular vote.
The outcome of the November 7 election was not known for more than a month after the balloting, because of the extended process of counting and then recounting of Florida presidential ballots, which would ultimately decide the election.

Further analysis of the results of the Mauritius parliamentary elections announced yesterday (Tuesday) reveal that, in fact, four women were elected, all from the MMM/MSM alliance.
As the leaders of the main political alliances held their last press conferences before Monday's parliamentary election, the Electoral Supervisory Commission and the Electoral Commissioner - both constitutionally guaranteed complete independence to run the election - were implementing rigorous procedures to ensure freedom of the poll.
Although the parliamentary elections next Monday in Mauritius will have some 22 independent names, political parties and party alliances on the ballot paper, it really all boils down to four parties -- or two alliances - who are serious contenders to take control of the 70-seat House of Assembly.
