Overview
In 1996 Kentucky ended up as the closest state percentagewise in the presidential election, giving Clinton a margin of just 0.96%. 2000 saw a very different story as Bush handily won Kentucky's eight electoral votes, racking up a plurality of 233,594 votes (15.12 percentage points). Bush carried 105 counties to 15 for Gore. A highlight of the campaign was the vice presidential debate at Centre College in Danville on Oct. 5. General Election Activity |
