The 2000 United States presidential election in New York took place on November 7, 2000, as part of the 2000 United States presidential election. Voters chose 33 representatives, or electors, to the Electoral College, who voted for president and vice president. New York was won by incumbent Democratic Vice President Al Gore in a landslide victory; he received 60.22% of the vote to Republican George W. Bush's 35.22%, a Democratic victory margin of 25.00%. This marked the first time since 1964 that a Democratic presidential candidate won more than 60% of the vote in New York State, and only the second time in history, solidifying New York's status as a solid blue state in the 21st century. New York weighed in as about 25% more Democratic than the national average in the 2000 election. This marks the last time that a Republican won the White House without carrying Richmond County (Staten Island).
