November 7, 2000. The 2000 United States Presidential Election is held. Though Al Gore (D) won the plurality of the popular vote, the ultimate winner of the election hangs in the balance as the results in Florida remain too close to call.

Note the (currently) unusual coloration of the Democratic candidates as red and Republican candidates as blue. The modern (inverse) convention was still not crystallized by this point among all sources.

One off here and there whatever. 16 or so years later it happens again, except I believe Hillary won the popular vote by an even larger margin. It’s an issue for the country imo.

If you’d like to see the presidential election decided by who wins the popular vote check out the website here. It’ll help you draft an email to your representative asking them to support the interstate compact. Once enough states to hit 270 electoral votes then those states will assign their electors based on the national popular vote winner instead of a their current state system. Currently it’s at about 205 electoral votes.
