"At the end of election day, no clear winner emerged because the outcomes in South Carolina, Florida, and Louisiana were unclear. Both parties claimed victory in those states."
"—two sets of conflicting electors met and voted so that the US Congress received two sets of conflicting electoral votes. At this point, Tilden had 184 electoral votes while Hayes had 165 with 20 votes still disputed."
Just wish Trump had been seated as Hayes was! We are still in the mess!
Is that not the same shady election that created the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, INC.?
I have tried to be informed and educated, and this is the FIRST I heard of the contested Hayes election: Listening to a 22 CD history of Grant.
Feel free to educate me further. The hairs on my arms and neck raised today listening to this part of the Grant history -- his successor.
Eh...It's a big rabbit hole to jump through, and it sounds crazy, because it is...but that doesn't mean it isn't true. The basic idea, if I can even sum it up, is that our legit government was "kicked out" and replaced by a literal corporation called THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA that, essentially, acted like our legit government. The elections became largely ceremonial at that point.
If you look at your drivers license, soc sec card, and birth certificate, you'll see that your name is in ALL CAPS...why? Because that is the name of a corporation that was created when you were born. You didn't know this because no one told you, but why do they do this? Because corporations don't have all the same rights as a human being. Thus, they can do things to the corporation named you, as long as you go along with it, which we all have, because none of this would ever occur to a sane, normal human being.
That's the cliff notes of the cliff notes version, but it's a subject well worth looking into.
