How would one briefly describe the background of the Presidential elections in 2000?

On the late afternoon of election day, November 7, 2000, there was no clear winner of the presidential election. Exit polling numbers in print and broadcast media were frequently contradictory, and the races in Oregon and New Mexico would remain too close to call for several days.
Finally, the contest settled on Florida. Networks predicted Gore would win the state but later declared that Bush had established an insurmountable lead.
The candidates were separated by less than 600 votes, and the gap appeared to be closing.
Because the margin of victory was less than 0.5 percent, Florida election law required a machine recount of all votes cast. The gap in this race appeared to be around 0.01 percent.
