Footnotes

[edit]
  1. ^ a b One faithless elector from the District of Columbia, Barbara Lett-Simmons, abstained from voting in protest of the District's lack of voting representation in the United States Congress. (D.C. has a non-voting delegate to Congress.) She had been expected to vote for Gore/Lieberman.[8]
  2. ^ One faithless elector from Minnesota cast an electoral vote for John Edwards (written as John Ewards) for president.[10]
  3. ^ a b Because Arrin Hawkins, then aged 28, was constitutionally ineligible to serve as vice president, Margaret Trowe replaced her on the ballot in some states. James Harris replaced Calero on certain other states' ballots.
