The 2000 United States presidential election in Maine took place on November 7, 2000, and was part of the 2000 United States presidential election. Maine is one of two U.S. states, where, instead of all of the state's four electors of the Electoral College voting based on the statewide results of the voters, two electors vote based on their respective congressional district. The other two electors vote based on the statewide results.
Vice President Al Gore, the Democratic nominee, won the state with 49.09% of the vote over Republican Governor of Texas George W. Bush, who received 43.97%. As of the 2024 presidential election, this is the last election in which Waldo County and Lincoln County voted for the Republican candidate.
Bush was the first Republican to win election without winning the state since Richard Nixon in 1968, as well as the first ever to do so without Hancock County, and the first to do so without Knox County since William McKinley in 1900.
Maine was one of ten states that backed George H. W. Bush for president in 1988 that did not back George W. Bush in either 2000 or 2004.
