1876 United States Presidential Election

History is so interesting - what do you all think? Did they pull something out of their old playbook?

1876 United States Presidential Election

The 1876 United States presidential election was the 23rd quadrennial presidential election, held on Tuesday, November 7, 1876, in which Republican nominee Rutherford B. Hayes faced Democrat Samuel J. Tilden. It was one of the most contentious and controversial presidential elections in American history, and gave rise to the Compromise of 1877 by which the Democrats conceded the election to Hayes in return for an end to Reconstruction and the withdrawal of federal troops from the South. After a controversial post-election process, Hayes was declared the winner.

The Democratic strategy for victory in the South was highly reliant on paramilitary groups such as the Red Shirts and the White League. Using the strategy of the Mississippi Plan, these groups actively suppressed black and white Republican voter turnouts by disrupting meetings and rallies and even using violence and intimidation.[12][13] They saw themselves as the military wing of the Democratic Party.

In Florida (with 4 electoral votes), Louisiana (with 8) and South Carolina (with 7), reported returns favored Tilden, but the elections in each state were marked by electoral fraud and threats of violence against Republican voters; the most extreme case was in South Carolina, where an impossible 101 percent of all eligible voters in the state had their votes counted.[16] One of the points of contention revolved around the design of ballots: at the time, parties would print ballots or "tickets" to enable voters to support them in the open ballots. To aid illiterate voters the parties would print symbols on the tickets, and in this election, many Democratic ballots were printed with the Republican symbol, Abraham Lincoln, on them.[17] The Republican-dominated state electoral commissions subsequently rejected enough Democratic votes to award their electoral votes to Hayes.

If our scenario is the same I wonder what concessions the DNC wants this time? Probably legalizing sex with related minors? Or just minors in general?

I know, I know, someone is going to scream this gets deleted. I just can't help it.

It probably won't have the exact same outcome, but similar.

History shows again and again
How nature points out the folly of man.

If it involves power and control people will often try and cheat to get it, especially when times are contentious as they are today.

The 2020 United States presidential election was the 46th quadrennial presidential election, held on Tuesday, November 3, 2020, in which Republican incumbent Donald J. Trump faced Democrat Joe Biden. It is fast becoming one of the most contentious and controversial presidential elections in American history,

The Democratic strategy for victory across america was highly reliant on paramilitary groups such as Antifa and BLM. Using the strategy of mass riots, social media shaming, and occupying city streets these groups actively suppressed black and white Republican voter turnouts by disrupting meetings and rallies and even using violence and intimidation.[12][13] They saw themselves as the military wing of the Democratic Party.

In Georgia , Pennsylvania and Arizona, reported returns favored Biden, but the elections in each state were marked by electoral fraud and threats of violence against Republican voters; the most extreme case was in Pennsylvania where mysterious boxes of ballots appeared at 4am to shift the vote to favour Biden.

Cool look how easy it is to make it apply to 2020.
