Analysis

, this is the last election in which the Democratic candidate won Montgomery County. This is the second consecutive election that a Democrat won every borough of New York City, which has occurred once since, in 2012.

Bush became the first Republican to win the White House without carrying Onondaga, Cayuga, St. Lawrence, Broome, Monroe, or Nassau Counties since these counties' founding in 1794, 1799, 1802, 1806, 1821, and 1899, respectively, the first to do so without carrying Clinton, Franklin, Rensselear, or Richmond Counties or any borough of New York City since Herbert Hoover in 1928, the first to do so without carrying Rockland, Seneca or Westchester Counties since Benjamin Harrison in 1888, the first to do so without carrying Sullivan County since James A. Garfield in 1880, and the first to do so without carrying Columbia, Suffolk, or Ulster Counties since Rutherford Hayes in 1876.

Gore won an overwhelming landslide in fiercely Democratic New York City, taking 1,703,364 votes to George W. Bush's 398,726, a 77.90% - 18.23% victory. Gore carried all five boroughs of New York City. Excluding New York City's votes, Gore still would have carried New York State, but by a smaller margin, receiving 2,404,543 votes to Bush's 2,004,648, giving Gore a 54.53% - 45.47% win.

Electors

Main article: List of 2000 United States presidential electors

Technically the voters of New York cast their ballots for electors: representatives to the Electoral College. New York is allocated 33 electors because it has 31 congressional districts and 2 senators. All candidates who appear on the ballot or qualify to receive write-in votes must submit a list of 33 electors, who pledge to vote for their candidate and his or her running mate. Whoever wins the majority of votes in the state is awarded all 33 electoral votes. Their chosen electors then vote for president and vice president. Although electors are pledged to their candidate and running mate, they are not obligated to vote for them. An elector who votes for someone other than his or her candidate is known as a faithless elector.

The electors of each state and the District of Columbia met on December 18, 2000 to cast their votes for president and vice president. The Electoral College itself never meets as one body. Instead the electors from each state and the District of Columbia met in their respective capitols.

The following were the members of the Electoral College from the state. All were pledged to and voted for Gore and Lieberman:
