Question 1 • U.S. History 2026 - 3311 B
In 2000, Al Gore won the popular vote, but George W. Bush won the Electoral College, making B unusual. The Electoral College result was also very close: Bush received 271 votes and Gore received 266, so C applies. Third-party candidate Ralph Nader did not nearly win, and a Democrat defeating a Republican is not by itself an unusual feature.
