By congressional district
editDue to the state's low population, only one congressional district is allocated. This district is called the At-Large district, because it covers the entire state, and thus is equivalent to the statewide election results.
District | Bush | Gore | Representative |
---|---|---|---|
At-large | 60.3% | 37.6% | John Thune |
Electors
editThe electors of each state and the District of Columbia met on December 18, 2000[3] 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 Bush and Dick Cheney:[4]
- Carole Hillard
- William J. Janklow
- Joel Rosenthal
