4. Al Gore (2000)
The United States presidential election of 2000 was the 54th quadrennial presidential election. It was held on Tuesday, November 7, 2000.
The election was a close contest between Republican candidate George W. Bush and Democratic candidate Al Gore, the incumbent vice president and son of career politician Albert Gore, Sr.
In the end, Al Gore had 50,999,897 votes, larger than Bush’s 50,456,002, yet Bush carried 30 electoral colleges, while Al Gore carried 20 and therefore he lost the election to Bush.
The above examples show that most times the winner of the presidential election does not always represent the true will of the people.
