The 2000 United States presidential election in Minnesota took place on November 7, 2000 throughout all 50 states and D.C., which was part of the 2000 United States presidential election. Voters chose 10 representatives, or electors to the Electoral College, who voted for President and Vice President.
Minnesota was won by Vice President Al Gore by a 2.4% margin of victory, a much weaker performance than President Bill Clinton did in 1996, carrying the state with 51% of the vote and with a 16% margin of victory. Despite winning the state, Gore lost most of the counties and congressional districts in the state. As far as counties, Gore won highly populated counties such as Hennepin County, Ramsey County, and St. Louis County with safe margins. As far as congressional districts, Gore won three districts including the urban 4th and 5th and won the 8th district with less than 50% of the vote. Bush overall dominated the rural parts of the states, located in the western and southern parts of the state. No Republican won the state since Richard Nixon in 1972, a streak no other state has.
