I've read lots about it, and have come to the conclusion that the Democrats prevented people from voting, while the Republicans threw votes away? Which is the greater sin? Judging purely on the racial split, it would appear that there were not enough black votes to enable Hayes to legitimately carry Florida; therefore, Tilden was entitled to the Presidency, even if denied the electoral votes of LA and SC. 1876 was not the dirtiest presidential election, though -- 2000 was much worse, a clear miscarriage of justice and law.mantmarblehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08350882479535662318noreply@blogger.com
