I’m not seeing much similarity.
The 1876 election review was a very Party oriented affair.

Trump is not a Party oriented guy.

To be clear: he does not have the Party behind him as Hayes did.

so what happens?
Hopefully we get fair, verifiable elections. That’s all I can hope for. at this point

“To be clear: he does not have the Party behind him as Hayes did.”

Yeah that’s what worries me. The rinos will go for Biden. And we don’t have enough strong conservatives to even make seven. I don’t think.

BUT we have better technology than they had then of course. We could analyze the ballots, do forensic audits on the computers, they might actually be able to come out with what the vote really was. In the beginning Sydney was saying he got 80 million votes and even California. So they had composite information from somewhere.

I guess I'm taking a high-level view of the 1876 election with stuffing the ballotbox (yup), flipped and rejected votes (yup), and voter intimidation (probably). And there was that Reconstruction thing going on.

The changing the rules by various states unconstitutionally, refusal to allow poll watchers, defiance of the courts, etc., was the icing on the cake.

The issue of one of the party's not having the back of their candidate wasn't a difference I was considering. Wish the Republicans were fighting that hard this time around!
