As messed up as this one was, I think Hayes' is even worse and more comparable. It is my go-to for people who claim this one would be/is the worst.

That election was crazy - mostly the post-election day stuff. Try to read those accounts without thinking about today, I dare you. ;)

IMO the premature ending of Reconstruction is the main reason the Republican Party "lost" the support of black Americans.

On a funny related note: this (2020) may be the first messed-up election where Florida wasn't a factor on the messed-up side. It has this long tradition of "oh, the election is messed up? What did Florida do this time?" ;)

There was also a chinese co. that printed ballots, (I think) or some company...bunch of them were deported. Wish I could remember the circumstances.

Interesting...never knew that was the case but it sure does make sense.

Didn't we throw 25 Chinese spies out of Texas recently that were infiltrating our colleges trying to steal information?

Why do you think Indians won't accept a $20 bill?

I like your thinking, make it so, Fred

As VP he swore to preserve and protect the United States from all enemies at home and abroad. It has been proven he conspired with Hunter to front with China and Ukraine to guide brokering a multi-million dollar deal which would yield not only the money but also apply political pressure which had a high probability of damaging America. He should be arrested either before or after the election is certified for conspiracy to harm our country. It's called treason.(by Fred)

Aaaaaa Yep!

Me too, though I watched a niece get married in the chapel of "The Hermitage," the now a museum plantation home of Andrew Jackson at Old Hickory, Tennessee, where my deceased brother, Tom, used to live.
Tom would tell a stranger he is from Nashville due to its close vicinity as me dino of Pleasant Grove, Alabama, will still say I'm from Birmingham.
I do know Jackson hated paper money. Whoever put his face on twenty dollar bills must have been laughing at him.

The modern Democratic Party also began with Andrew Jackson, who was (along with Woodrow Wilson) arguably the most racist President we've ever had.

Remember it was Jackson who was responsible for an unauthorized - but secretly sanctioned - war against the Indian tribes in the South which violated treaties and expelled millions of Indians from Florida and southern Georgia so that their land could be gotten cheaply. Jackson was also responsible - as President - for the Trail of Tears.

Sex with ballots TOO!

Plenty of "political machining and corrupt bargaining" in 2020, along with possible blackmail and sex with children.

Very interesting , the deep state in the modern era has strong deep roots in this case 196 years. ThanQ Brother

Another piece of History I didn't know.
