Overview
Montana, a very close state with Perot on the ballot in 1992 and 1996, went to Bush by a wide margin in 2000. The Bush-Cheney ticket won with a plurality of 103,052 votes (25.07 percentage points), carrying all but 4 of the state's 56 counties. The state did see a number of closely fought races, however. In the U.S. Senate race, incumbent Conrad Burns (R) defeated Brian Schweitzer (D) 51% to 47%. In the U.S. House race, Dennis Rehberg (R) defeated Nancy Keenan (D) 51% to 46%. In the governor's race, Judy Martz and Karl Ohs (R) defeated Mark O'Keefe and Carol Williams (D) 51% to 47%. |
