The count of the Electoral College ballots during a joint session of the 107th United States Congress, pursuant to the Electoral Count Act, on January 6, 2001, was held as the final step to confirm then President-elect George W. Bush's victory in the 2000 presidential election over incumbent Vice President Al Gore.
This event was notable in that Gore, who had narrowly failed to secure the deciding state of Florida after a series of controversial recount proceedings, presided over the certification of his own election loss in his role as President of the Senate. Multiple Democratic representatives attempted to object to the certification of Bush's Florida electoral votes throughout the session, however no senator from either party signed onto the objections.
Gore was the last incumbent vice president until Democrat Kamala Harris in 2025 to have presided over an electoral vote count in which they were a losing presidential candidate on the ballot.
