The 2000 United States presidential election in New York took place on November 7, 2000 throughout all 50 states and the District of Columbia, which was part of the 2000 presidential election. Voters chose 33 representatives, or electors to the Electoral College, who voted for President and Vice President.

New York was won by Gore with a landslide victory of over 60% of the vote. The key to Gore's victory was wide margins of victory in greater New York City and Long Island. He did win some counties in upstate NY, but won with small margins except for Albany County which voted almost exactly the same as the statewide results. Since third party candidates received over 4% of the vote, Bush did very poorly. Although, Bush did win a majority of the counties in upstate NY, including his largest victory in rural Hamilton County. Bush won just four congressional districts including New York's 22nd congressional district, New York's 23rd congressional district, New York's 27th congressional district, and New York's 31st congressional district.

Electors

Main article: List of United States presidential electors, 2000

Technically the voters of NY cast their ballots for electors: representatives to the Electoral College. NY is allocated 33 electors because it has 31 congressional districts and 2 senators. All candidates who appear on the ballot or qualify to receive write-in votes must submit a list of 33 electors, who pledge to vote for their candidate and his or her running mate. Whoever wins the majority of votes in the state is awarded all 33 electoral votes. Their chosen electors then vote for President and Vice President. Although electors are pledged to their candidate and running mate, they are not obligated to vote for them. An elector who votes for someone other than his or her candidate is known as a faithless elector.

The electors of each state and the District of Columbia met on December 18, 2000 to cast their votes for President and Vice President. The Electoral College itself never meets as one body. Instead the electors from each state and the District of Columbia met in their respective capitols.
