Why do you think the 2000 election caused a controversy regarding the electoral college?

Answers will vary but should include ideas such as these:

The 2000 election showed that the Electoral College does not always reflect the popular vote.
The person with the most votes might not win the election.
Certain states will get more attention from presidential candidates than others. For example, a state with a large population will have a greater impact on the election than a state with a small population.
