Was there any other state that Gore could have flipped in 2000?

[exboyfil]

by using the same tactics that Trump is currently using? How about Kerry or Hillary Clinton?

Gore only needed one other state (I assume the faithless elector from DC would have voted for Gore if it met winning the election). Granted Bush conceded on NM because his only path to victory was Florida. I am sure he would have opened up front if Gore had pursued New Hampshire or Nevada.

Alternatively could he have tried to pick off faithless electors himself (three in total)?

1. New Hampshire baffled me that year

Clinton won it twice i believe.

2. He didn't campaign in his home state of TN. Had he won his home state FL would have not mattered

3. Bingo.

4. True, but...

...although Tennessee was his “home state,” it had already turned solid red since his time as their senator.

5. That's not true

Al Gore was US Senator from Tennessee until he was elected Vice-President. Bill Clinton and Gore won Tennessee in both 1992 and 1996, and Phil Bredesen, a moderate Democrat, became governor for 8 years in 2002.

That being said, Tennessee has indeed become red. It's almost if the Democratic Party has just let it go. Nashville and Memphis are both heavily Democratic cities.

Indeed, Phil Bredesen could have defeated the awful Marsha Blackburn for US Senate in 2018 if he hadn't bobbled his response to then ongoing Brett Kavanaugh confirmation hearings

6. New Hampshire would probably have been the best bet...

7,211 votes separated them...

Bush - 273,559 48.07%
Gore - 266,348 46.80%
