- Gore conceded on election night, but retracted his concession when he learned that the vote in Florida was too close to call. A recount of the Florida votes ensued, but was eventually ruled unconstitutional by the U.S. Supreme Court.
- Ralph Nader has formally run for president four times; the first time was in 1996. He was also a write-in candidate in 1992.
