This is a place to hang out and trade electoral trivia and tidbits from 1789-present, stuff that often falls under the radar screen, stuff that is fun to learn. The almighty powers above encouraged me to place this thread here and not in the elections forum.
Here's how it works.
Every day, I throw out a trivia question. Whoever gets it right first gets a pos rep from me, guaranteed.
Anybody can submit a piece of trivia as well. It can be presidential, senatorial, gubernatorial or part of the history of the US House of representatives. I am thinking that very small local election trivia will probably not find a huge amount of resonance....if you contribute electoral trivia, you can also pose it as a question, or just throw it out there, however you may like.
Anybody can submit a trivia question and can ask me to research it. If my research turns up an answer, I will publish it. And in that case, I get a rep from the questioner!
Or, you can submit a trivia question and if someone else researches it and gets it right, then you know how to reward him!
The Trivia can be about names, specific elections, numbers (percentages, swings, trends), lucky-or-unlucky electoral accidents, you name it.
This thread is NOT about "so and so one and now the USA sucks".
Time to charge up those brain cells!
PS. Not trying to make it a partisan thing in any way. I have tons of trivia for both major parties and third parties as well. Trivia no. 1 begins in the second posting.
