I was only eight years old on Election Day in 2000. The events that unfolded that night and the following months would have significant impacts on everyone's lives and would forever shape the 21st century. A lot has happened in the eleven plus years since then, and it makes you wonder what if.
What if Al Gore had won the United States Presidential Election of 2000?
The election was very close, and a plausible point of divergence is very easy to come by. Florida, the deciding state, was won by Bush by a mere 537 votes (recounts aside). With nearly six million votes cast in the state, 537 is well within the margin of error. What if, in some alternate universe, the initial count in Florida had shown that Gore had won instead, by, let's say, 537 votes?
