    Default This election isn't the first contested one

    Yep folks, that's right! This is not the first contested election in US history, and even isn't the most contentious. That award goes to the election of 1876.

    It was the most contentious presidential election in American history, and gave rise to the Compromise of 1877 in 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.

    There were four states with heavily contested election outcomes: Florida, Louisiana, S. Carolina, and Oregon. Rutherford Hayes, the winner got a minority of the vote too. The electoral vote was 185 to 184, Hayes winning by a single vote.

    So, in your childish mind, that makes tRump's attempted mockery of our democracy okay?
    In other words, you are simply a brainwashed fucktard. Okay, you proved your point.
    Please leave your Trump 2024 signs in your yard. That way, my dog will know where to take a dump.

    He is worse than that. If tRump sexually assaulted his neighbor's daughter, this fucktard would still defend tRump.

    No, but it puts it in historical perspective. That's something you know zero about. For you history started in 2016 and even that's like almost irrelevant now. That's how the idiots, like you, on the Left roll. Morons like you have repeatedly stated that Trump's objections to the election are "unprecedented," or "never seen in history..." that sort of thing. Well, I proved that wrong with this thread. Like everything else the Left says and does, they got it wrong here too.

    At least I know history. I proved that here. Whereas you, haven't added anything to the debate other than vitriol, invective, and ad hominem--the signs of a weak Leftist mindset.

    You do not know history. Even AG Barr said there is no fraud. You're a scumbag.

    Your commentary has nothing to do with the subject at hand.
