The2000 United States presidential election in Georgia took place on November 7, 2000, and was part of the2000 United States presidential election. Voters chose 13 representatives, or electors, to theElectoral College, who voted forpresident andvice president.
Georgia was won byGovernorGeorge W. Bush (R-TX) by an 11.7% margin of victory. He won a majority of the popular vote, counties, and congressional districts. Bush dominated in most of the rural parts of the state, butVice PresidentAl Gore (D-TN) did well in highly populatedFulton; and majority-BlackDeKalb andClayton counties of theMetro Atlanta area. Within that area are the 4th and 5th congressional districts, which are the only two districts Gore won. Author andinvestment analystHarry Browne (L-TN) would finish third in the popular vote in Georgia.
In1992 and1996, Georgia was the first and third closest state, respectively. In 2000, however, Georgia was not a close state at all, as the Democratic candidate, Vice President Al Gore, did not do as well as Bill Clinton in the general election. In other down-ballot races,Zell Miller (D), who was appointed by then-GovernorRoy Barnes (D) followingSenatorPaul Coverdell's (R) death in July 2000, won thespecial election for the unexpired remainder of the term. Another notable down ballot race was the 2000 U.S. House election in Georgia's 2nd congressional district in which Incumbent U.S. RepresentativeSanford Bishop (D) survived a strong challenge fromDylan Glenn (R). Miller in the Senate race actually outperformed Gore in the presidential race by over 30 points. The state was also 1 of 14 that Bill Clinton carried at least once during the elections of 1992 and 1996 (having carried it in 1992) that Gore lost.
In this election, Georgia voted 12.21% to the right of the nation at-large.[2]
As of the2024 presidential election[update], this is the last election in whichChatham County voted Republican and the last in whichMcIntosh County,Meriwether County,Mitchell County,Telfair County, andWilkinson County voted Democratic.

Technically the voters of Georgia cast their ballots for electors: representatives to theElectoral College. Georgia is allocated 13 electors because it has 11congressional districts and twosenators. All candidates who appear on the ballot or qualify to receive write-in votes must submit a list of 13 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 13 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 afaithless elector.
The electors of each state and theDistrict of Columbia met on December 18, 2000[5] 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 George W. Bush and Dick Cheney:[6]
