2000 Election - DUI Charge Against Gore Not Bush

[Lincoln Republican]

In 2000, in the last week of the campaign, the 1976 DUI charge against George W Bush was revealed to the public.

In this scenario, Al Gore was the one who had the 1976 DUI conviction revealed.  Bush had no DUI charge or conviction in his life.  Gore admits to the 1976 charge and the conviction, in which he paid a $150.00 fine, and his driving privileges were temporarily suspended in Tennessee where the conviction took place.

Question

How does this event, where the DUI conviction is against Gore, not Bush, affect the 2000 election?

Bush/Cheney vs Gore/Lieberman

Please discuss. 

Use a map if you wish.

It does not affect the race.

It does not affect the race.

I concur with the statement made by Xahar. Florida still goes to Bush and he is elected 43rd President of the United States.

in this scenario, it is possible that you wouldnt have to italicize "elected"

It is a possiblity Earl.

I believe in this scenario that Bush wins Florida uncontested, and adds on Iowa and New Mexico, which he lost by very, very, narrow margins.

He possibly adds on Wisconsin and Oregon as well.

Due to the closeness of the election, this change of events probably shifts Florida, Iowa and New Mexico into the Bush column.

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

and Wisconsin. He lost that by like 0.4%.
