I’d like to see a list of the names of the voters who elected Bush president, and the ones that voted for Gore, in the year 2000. There are, after all, only 535 of them. Where can I find this list?

Actually there’s 538 (including DC.)

I can’t find a list of the actual electors, though.

You might be able to find it on NARA’s site. (Sorry, I can’t link to it from work…)

If it’s on NARA’s site, I missed it.

You can find them on the National Archives & Records Administration’s website on its [Electoral College](http://www.archives.gov/federal_register/electoral_college/electoral_college.html) page. You can click on either [Certificates of Ascertainment](http://www.archives.gov/federal_register/electoral_college/certificates_of_ascertainment_2000.html) or [Certificates of Vote](http://www.archives.gov/federal_register/electoral_college/certificates_of_vote_2000.html)–either certificate will list the electors.

Bingo!

That’s it. Don’t know how I missed it.

Thanks much!
