Ответ:
The 2000 presidential election was contested between George W. Bush, the Republican candidate, and Al Gore, for the democratic side. Finally, the victory went to Bush, who won 271 electoral votes against 266 of Gore.
It was an extremely controversial electoral process, because in the counting of votes in the state of Florida there was a very limited difference between the numbers of Bush and those of Gore.
Specifically, this election generated a great controversy regarding the functions and legitimacy of the Electoral College in the presidential elections, since it does not absolutely reflect the opinion of the citizenry.
The fact that there is a big difference in the number of voters between the different states (for example, California has 55 electoral votes while Washington DC has 3), and that the vast majority of states are governed by the principle that the winner takes all the voters, makes the electoral votes lose representation and often do not reflect the opinion of the voters.
What happened in this election was that the popular vote in Florida was won by the Republicans by a marginal difference (approximately 50.2% of the popular vote), which triggered a controversy in the vote recount that was finally stopped by the Supreme Court, granting the electoral votes of Florida to Bush.
The truth is that, throughout the nation, Gore had obtained 48.38% of the votes against 47.87% of Bush; therefore, guided by the popular vote, Al Gore would have been elected president. But due to the electoral votes, which, as we can see, do not reflect the popular will, Bush was designated the winner.
Once the inefficiency of the Electoral College has been demonstrated, a debate should be opened that modifies this situation and gives greater importance to the popular vote, which is ultimately the true reflection of the electorate's thoughts regarding the problems of the country and the suitability candidates.
