November 10, 2000: Oregon Called for Gore; New Mexico Reverts to ‘Too Close to Call’

The presidential campaign of Vice President Al Gore (D-TN) gains seven electoral votes when Oregon, a state rated too close to call, is officially reported as voting for him. The Gore campaign loses five electoral votes when New Mexico, a state once rated as projected for Gore, is relabeled “too close to call.” [Leip, 2008; Leip, 2008] New Mexico will be granted to Gore when that state completes manual recounts demanded by the Bush campaign (see November 13 - December 1, 2000).
