Which state had to recount election votes due to hanging and dimpled chads in the 2000 presidential election?


  • Florida:The presidential election of 2000 was as close as any in US history. Democrat Al Gore trailed in the vote count to Republican George W. Bush in the pivotal state of Florida, and whichever candidate won Florida would win the election. In some cases, "punch card" ballots failed to completely open, resulting in "the dimpled chad" or "the hanging chad". These votes were not counted by the tabulating machines, and county election officials had to examine these punch cards manually to determine the voter's intent. As a result of the 2000 presidential election, the terms “hanging chads” and “dimpled chads” were popularized and became part of the American lexicon.
