Overview
There were no surprises on Nov. 7 as the Gore-Lieberman ticket swamped Bush-Cheney in the District with a plurality of 153,850 votes (76.21 percentage points). Ralph Nader made a point of campaigning for District votes, visiting Anacostia and holding a super-rally at MCI Center, but he did not make it into double figures. A surprising development did occur on Dec. 18, however. Elector Barbara Lett-Simmons, 73, cast a blank ballot to protest DC's lack of voting representation in Congress, meaning that Gore gained only two of DC's three electoral votes. |
