in 1888 the year my grandmother was born there was a really bad snow storm through out the midwest (she was born in October) travel was not as easy then and NO ONE talked ever about the idea of postponing the election
My maternal grandmother was also born in 1888—in Kansas. She was killed in an automobile accident in 1953. I’m probably her only relative who remembers her, and I’m the only one who still decorates her grave.
I'm gonna have to roll an eye here.
I don't know how old you are but it's safe to say you were at least too young to remember the blizzard of 1888. The hills were higher back then. People walked thru 4' feet of snow up those hills to vote. It was too cold for the horses back then... There were no phones to call each other and hardly anyone could read.... But sure as I'm telling you now, NO ONE talked about the idea of postponing the election for that silly snow storm.
See what I mean? There is a bit too much conviction in your assertion. :o)
I get your point. I don't know of a presidential election that has ever been postponed for weather.
