Electoralcollege选举团票,指每一个州人民选出一群人组成选举团,由它们直接选举总统。
Theelectionof1876
这是指1876年11月7日美国内战时少将,共和党人,俄亥俄州州长卢瑟福海因斯,在总统选举结束后,认为自己输给民主党人,纽约州长萨缪尔莱尔登而安息。
可在第二天,因为涉嫌欺骗行为,有争议之州,如佛罗里达,路易斯安娜,南卡罗莱纳重新计票及诉讼。
那一年选举结果争议持续了四个月的时间。
国会因争议,不得不推迟总统就职时间。
到第二年,1877年3月4日,总统就职最后期限的前两天,国会建立了一个两党联合选举委员会:
包括八名共和党人和七名民主党人。
最后该会把所有争议的选举人票都给了海因斯。
结果以185票对莱尔登184张选举团票。
海因斯多一票当选为美国第19任总统。
2000年的美国总统选举与1876年的很相似。
所以句内提及。
7.JamesBaker3rd贝克曾任前共和党总统里根(RonaldReagen)政府的内阁成员和白宫办公所主任。
