^V1	George W. Bush often addresses the restoration of moral integrity in the White House and the country. Bush wins the closest election yet. The election hinged upon the tight race for Florida's electoral votes. Bush won Florida by 537 popular votes.
^V2	Al Gore minimized the importance of the Clinton Scandals and avoided Washington Scandals and Corruption. Democrat Al Gore sought and failed to overturn election rules to exclude the overseas military vote.
^V3	Protesting the lack of District of Columbia's representation in Congress one elector from D.C. left her ballot blank denying Al Gore one more electoral vote.
*	The term "Hanging Chad" became the subject of jest by comedians and the general public after the close vote, with the problems of voting machines becoming public. The 2000 election prompted the voting reform debate that continues past the 2004 election.
