In November 2000, Albert Gore ran against George W. Bush for President. In the end, there was a dispute. But that was solved when Florida gave its electoral votes to Bush even though Gore had the higher popular vote


However, this was a very close race, and many have examined what could have happened if Gore became President. In President Al, we examine an ATL where Gore becomes President.
