American voters and news media like to believe that this 2024 election is far worse than other past elections with charges and counter-charges flying back and forth between both candidates. However, disputed Presidential elections go all the way back to the 1800 Presidential election which resulted in an Electoral College tie with one presidential candidate's supporters threatening armed rebellion.
In preparation for next week's class on Election Day, November 5,in which we will study and examine the Electoral College system and break down the current election season and how the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives races are shaping up around the country, examine Ohio and West Virginia state, local elections and issues on the ballot and finally see what the pundits are predicting for the Presidential race and the those so-called important "battleground states". Before we delve into that cauldron of emotions and opinions, students will be expected to read the article "Disputed Presidential Elections Are Nearly as Old as the U.S. Presidency" as part of their homework assignment. The article can be clicked on here.
