Presidential Election Law - Don't Litigate - Negotiate! In six other elections (1828, 1840, 1844, 1848, 1864, and 1868), the shift of a small number of votes in a few states — fewer than 20,000 in the first four -- would have resulted in the election of the other candidate. In 1876, the outcome of the election between Republican Rutherford B. Hayes and Democrat Samuel Tilden was in doubt for months as the result of the submission of double slates of electors in four states. The very first seriously contested presidential election, in 1800, was thrown into the House of Representatives after an Electoral College tie between Thomas Jefferson and Aaron Burr that resulted from a double-balloting anomaly in the Constitution. jurist.law.pitt.edu /election/electionross3.htm   (2512 words)

The_Path_To_Florida.htm For the 2000 election, a notorious ex-felon list, composed of more than 50,000 names, was compiled and the appropriate sections were sent by the state to the elections supervisors of Florida’s 67 counties, along with a directive to purge those confirmed as felons from the rolls. Elections supervisor David Leahy would say that the decision to stop counting undervotes had nothing to do with the protest, only with the realization that the job could not be completed by the Florida Supreme Court’s deadline of November 26. In 1868, Florida, as a way of keeping former slaves away from the polls, put in its constitution that prisoners would permanently be denied the right to vote unless they were granted clemency by the governor. www.makethemaccountable.com /articles/The_Path_To_Florida.htm   (21298 words)

Understanding Economics and Politics At least ever since the American presidential election of 1868, the financiers who rule this country have made sure that they have hand-picked presidential candidates in both the Democratic and Republican parties. August Belmont, the Democratic National Chairman, sabotaged the Democratic presidential candidate, Horatio Seymour, through derogatory statements made in his New York World newspaper, assuring the election of the Republican candidate, General Ulysses S. Grant. The so-called Credit Strengthening Act of March 18, 1869 was passed immediately upon the assembling of the new Congress elected in the 1868 election. www.hermes-press.com /econ1.htm   (424 words)

Bill Clinton Biography - President of the United States of America Clinton won the 1992 presidential election against the Republican Bush and independent candidate H. Ross Perot, largely on a platform focusing on domestic issues, notably the economic recession of the pre-election period — using the line "It's the economy, stupid!", in his campaign headquarters. Clinton was impeached on December 19, 1998 by the House of Representatives on grounds of perjury to a grand jury (by a 228-206 vote) and obstruction of justice (by a 221-212 vote), becoming only the second U.S. President to be impeached (the previous one being Andrew Johnson in 1868). Clinton sparked a good deal of opposition from the very beginning of his presidency, leading Hillary Clinton to complain that her husband was targeted by a "vast right-wing conspiracy", although others criticized him as well; it was Edmund G.

With nearly 10 percent of Americans now believing that the election system doesn't count their votes accurately, and with new charges of fraud beginning to swirl around the 2004 presidential election, it's worth taking a look back at the nation's long tradition of electoral shenanigans.

CPL African Americans and National Party Convention History: A Chronology Republican Presidential candidate Benjamin Harrison abandoned race as a campaign issue to maintain party unity necessary to his election. The listings of southern Black Republican delegates to national conventions from 1868-1944 found in Black Republicans, some of which may only be partial, still indicate the slow progress of political parties, even the party that nominated Abraham Lincoln for the Presidency, in bringing African Americans into their ranks. The first post-Abolition Republican National Convention, held in Chicago on May 20-21,1868, was attended by only four Black delegates representing North Carolina, South Carolina, Louisiana and Texas. www.chipublib.org /002branches/woodson/wncovention.html   (734 words)
