David Von Drehle imagines a 1888 style presidential contest where Gore and Bush vie for a split or tied Electoral College result. The piece explores how regional margins and winner take all rules could produce a rare split vote or an unprecedented Electoral College tie.
The piece explains why the Electoral College exists, how it functions, and historic swings from 1824 through 1888. It highlights how states’ popular votes translate into electors, mentions a 269 269 tie scenario, and recalls Cleveland and Harrison contests shaping party gains and regional shifts.
Washington Post reports Newark and national youth activism as voters under 30 face apathy amid Bush Gore campaigns. Youth Vote 2000 tries to mobilize 1,500 local coalitions while campaigns favor older voters amid rising ad costs.
Ralph Nader frames his bid as building a viable Green Party to reform Washington and elect local candidates. Analysts note third parties rarely break the two-party system, cite two Green Parties, and warn funds and factional splits could threaten growth despite Greens appearing on 45 state ballots with over 270 candidates.
