Fill in the blank: During his election, _________ did not receive enough votes from the Electoral College.

Asked by Murnan215

Answer (2)

Okay, the other answer is wrong. The Electoral College's votes are what decide if you can be president or not. So people who actually became president (like Lincoln) did recieve enough votes from the Electoral College. However, during his own election, Al Gore didn't get enough votes from the Electoral College in the Presidential Election in 2000 . That's why he lost the election, even though his popular vote was higher. Hope this helps!

Al Gore did not receive enough votes from the Electoral College during the 2000 presidential election against George W. Bush, despite winning the popular vote. Bush secured 271 electoral votes while Gore received 266. The election is famous for the controversy over the Florida vote count and the Supreme Court ruling that determined the outcome.
