State Profile: The United States elected a Republican president in 2000, and Republican majorities have increased in many other states -- but California voted for Al Gore and has elected Democratic majorities to both houses of its legislature and in its congressional delegation. Our U.S. senators, the governor and every other statewide elected official but one is a Democrat. This trend is expected to continue in this year's election.
