“I don’t suppose the fact that his statement is correct would have any bearing on the subject.”
Apparently, to some, it justifies making a mockery out of voting.
This is little more than a replay of the 1824 election, in which the elites thwarted the will of the voters and gave the Presidency to John Q Adams when Andrew Jackson had won the highest percentage of both the popular vote and electoral college. A dangerous game because Jackson was a truly violent man.
It is my understanding of that era that President Adams won the presidency according to the procedure outlined in the constitution. While President Jackson did not like the outcome, he never undertook or advocated any violent reaction. He was an interesting individual with a lifetime of public service. He was also correct about the danger of a national bank.
