Answer:

The right answer is (3)Tennessee's Electoral College votes went to Al Gore.

Step-by-step explanation:

On December 12, 2000, the US Supreme Court decision reversed a decision by the Florida Supreme Court to ask for a selective manual recount of Florida´s presidential election ballots. This secured the victory of Republican George W. Bush in that state by giving him its 25 votes in the Electoral College. Tennessee´s votes were not concerned.
