Overview
The Gore-Lieberman ticket eked out a narrow win, finishing with a plurality of just 4,144 votes (0.32 percentage points). Bush carried 68 counties to Gore's 31. Typically in Iowa Democratic candidates do well East of I-35, the main North-South highway, and Republicans do well in the West. This held true in 2000 as Bush swept all counties in the Western-most quarter of the state, while Gore did well in counties along the Mississippi River in the East, as well as in the Des Moines-Fort Dodge and Mason City areas.
