Democratic candidate Al Gore, who was Bill Clinton's Vice-President, narrowly lost the electoral vote count, and thereby the election, to George W. Bush, governor of Texas and son of President George H. Bush.

Suits challenging the outcome were controversially decided by the US Supreme Court, which ruled in Bush v. Gore that planned recounts in the state of Florida could not be conducted, due to the lack of statewide standards for such recounting.
