		The 1916 presidential election between Woodrow Wilson, the incumbent Democratic president, and Charles Evan Hughes, the Republican challenger, was very close.

	U.S. FOREIGN POLICY IN THE ELECTION YEAR 2004
		The closest election in U.S. history was the Hays-Tilden election in 1876, in which Tilden, a Democrat like Al Gore, not only won a popular majority, but the race finished in a tie in the electoral college and had to be decided by a special commission.
		To win an election for the presidency, a candidate needs to get a majority of the 535 votes represented in the Electoral College, the total number of seats in the House and Senate.
		It is also important to recall that the U.S. constitution, with its division of powers between the judicial, legislative and executive branches of the federal government, establishes that the focus of foreign policy rests with the executive branch.

		In the election of 1912, the Democratic Party nominated Wilson as their presidential candidate.

	An analysis of the U.S. Presidential Election of 2000 -- " [Free Republic]
		Bear in mind that there have been five elections since the last Electoral College misfire in 1888 that tiny shifts in the vote, sometimes just a few hundred people in a handful of states, could have delivered the presidency to the candidate finishing second in the popular vote.
		Within days of her own election, Hillary Clinton said "I believe strongly that in a democracy, we should respect the will of the people and to me, that means it's time to do away with the Electoral College and move to the popular election of our president." Bi-partisan proposals are already going forward in Congress.
		It is the pervasive fear throughout the thin states that if the president were chosen by direct election, whatever influence they retain through their disproportionate strength in the Electoral College would disappear, swamped beneath the massive populations of the mega-states.
