In the 2000 US presidential election, George W. Bush was officially elected by a narrow margin (271/538, 50.3%). According to many claims, he would have been the clear loser had the votes been counted correctly.

There were also widespread allegations of fraud in the 2004 US elections, though it is less clear what the results should have been.
