Overview
To no one's surprise the Bush-Cheney ticket handily claimed North Dakota's three electoral votes, winning with a plurality of 79,586 votes (27.6 percentage points) and carrying 51 of 53 counties. Pat Buchanan, who visited Fargo on Oct. 17, achieved one of his best showings nationwide in North Dakota -- a meager 2.5%. Gore's two counties were Sioux (on the southern edge of the state; part of the Standing Rock Indian Reservation) and Rolette (on the northern edge of the state; encompases Turtle Mountain Indian Reservation). |
