A county on Florida’s east coast and the home of popular Daytona Beach, Volusia County gained national notoriety during the contested 2000 presidential election contest between George W. Bush and Al Gore. Volusia County election officials noticed that a small, 600 person precinct reported over 2,000 votes for George W. Bush and over 16,000 negative votes for Al Gore. The numbers, almost enough to decide the presidential election for the entire country, were disputed and fixed the night of the election, but not before several TV news outlets used the numbers to call the election for Bush.
