re: George W. Bush says Russia meddled in 2016 US election

Who was in the election against Bush?

United States presidential election, 2000:

George W. Bush/Dick Cheney (R) – 50,460,110 (47.9%) and 271 electoral votes (30 states carried)
Al Gore/Joe Lieberman (D) – 51,003,926 (48.4%) and 266 electoral votes (20 states and D.C. carried)

I remember some not so good things from Mr Gore about this. Was this the chaffing incident?


Abstaining – 1 electoral vote (faithless elector from D.C.)
Ralph Nader/Winona LaDuke (Green) – 2,883,105 (2.7%)
Pat Buchanan/Ezola B. Foster (Reform) – 449,225 (0.4%)
Harry Browne/Art Olivier (Libertarian) – 384,516 (0.4%)
Howard Phillips/Curtis Frazier (Constitution) – 98,022 (0.1%)
John Hagelin/Nat Goldhaber (Natural Law) – 83,702 (0.1%)

United States presidential election, 2004:

George W. Bush/Dick Cheney (R) (inc.) – 62,040,610 (50.7%) and 286 electoral votes (31 states carried)
John Kerry/John Edwards (D) – 59,028,111 (48.3%) and 251 electoral votes (19 states and D.C. carried)

John Kerry was boated, dirty repubs


John Edwards (D) – 1 electoral vote (faithless elector from Minnesota)
