Wisconsin was won by Vice President Al Gore by a slim 0.22% margin of victory, a mere difference of 5,708 votes. This was the first time since 1988, and only the second time since 1960 that Wisconsin did not vote for the overall winner of a presidential election. This was the last time that Wisconsin voted to the right of neighboring Iowa, as well as the national popular vote until 2016.
Wisconsin was won by a narrow margin by Gore by less than 6,000 votes. Gore carried Milwaukee County home of Milwaukee, and Dane County home of Madison, which contributed to his victory.
