The District of Columbia voted by an extremely large margin in favor of the Democratic candidate Al Gore with 85% of the vote. Bush got 9% with 18,000 votes compared to Nader who got 5% with 10,000 votes.^[1] A total of 44% of the population came out to vote.^[2] This can be attributed to the fact that D.C. only encompasses an urban core area (and those are generally very liberal in nature). The District of Columbia has never voted for a Republican.
