User:Usmle2cs/Clean Sweep of 2000
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The “Clean Sweep of 2000” refers to a series of Minesweeper games played between Republican candidate George W. Bush and the Democratic nominee, Al Gore. Due to the recount dispute in the state of Florida, Gore and Bush agreed to settle the conflict through a best-of-9 series of Microsoft Minesweeper, with the winner taking the electoral votes. Bush prevailed in a close 5-0 victory, and as a result, Al Gore subsequently conceded the election, with the Supreme Court acting as the official adjudicator.
