The 2000 United States presidential election in West Virginia took place on November 7, 2000, and was part of the 2000 United States presidential election. Voters chose 5 representatives, or electors to the Electoral College, who voted for president and vice president.
While West Virginia was traditionally a Democratic stronghold, due to the large coal industry in the state, Gore was seen as an environmental extremist.[1]
West Virginia gave its 5 electoral votes to Governor George W. Bush, the first time a Republican carried this state since Ronald Reagan in 1984 and only the fourth time since 1932. Bush won the statewide results by a margin of 6.3%. As of the 2016 presidential election[update], this is the last election in which the Democratic candidate won Kanawha County, Harrison County, Lincoln County, and Wyoming County. This was the first time since 1928 that a non-incumbent Republican won West Virginia. From 1932 through 1996 WV voted democratic every time except for 1956, 1972, and 1984.
