Answer:

The correct answer is C. The 2000 presidential election was the first one decided by the Supreme Court.

Explanation:

The 2000 presidential election was the most closed and controversial election in the history of the United States. Vice President and Democratic candidate Al Gore competed with the governor of Texas George W Bush.

Gore won with 48.38% of the nation's popular votes. Bush was left with 47.87%.  But after the Supreme Court counted the votes in the state of Florida, the Republican candidate won the state vote. Thus, 25 votes of the sunny state electoral college managed to give the victory to Bush with a total of 271 electoral votes to 266.
