Answer:

Option 3, The election was so close no one could decide who won, is the right answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Presidential election of the year 2000 was very significant in the history of the United States. In this election, George W. Bush of Republican Party stood against Al Gore of the Democratic party.

On the day of the election, Al Gore won the popular vote. At the same time, Bush was able to carry most states in the south, rocky mountain region and rural Midwest. In the election, Gore obtained 255 electoral votes and Bush received 246 votes, but neither candidate was able to get 270 votes necessary for victory.

The State of Florida had 25 electoral votes. therefore, the outcome of the election was based on the votes of Florida.
