Electoral Trivia for your enjoyment and edification.
Holy George Washingtons!!
Did you know that more than one George Washington has made a name for himself in US-American politics?
Aside from the Father of the Nation, our first President (1789-1797), there was:
Our Campaigns - OK US Senate Race - Nov 05, 1968
George Washington. American Independent candidate for the Oklahoma Senate in 1968.
BTW, there was an official primary election for his party as well, and he won the primary with all of 414 votes to beat his competitor, Landis Hiniker:
Our Campaigns - OK US Senate - Amer. Primary Race - Aug 27, 1968
(Really, you just can't make this stuff up, it is true...)
And then there was this George Washington, from Michigan:
The Political Graveyard: Index to Politicians: Washington
Republican candidate for Michigan SOS in 1966.
More names at that link....
(Really, you can't make this stuff up, it's real)....
