    Option C, during that period, he did not accept money from FEC.

    Explanation:

    Conservative George W. Bush fought against Democratic Al Gore at the 2000 presidential race. The first results revealed that Gore was elected by the people, but neither candidate won the 270 votes needed for the presidency.

    The elections were based on Florida results when the vote was so close that the ballot paper was mandated. Finally, in Bush v. Gore, the vote was settled by the US Highest court. The tribunal ruled for Bush in 5-4 votes.

    In 2000, when former President George Bush denied receiving matching funds for the primaries and caucuses, the mass migration of public finance scheme was initiated. Barack Obama was the first to be elected in 2008 to decrease public funding.
