This battle has just begun—way too early to start placing bets.
Read up on the election of 1876 if you want to see how crazy it can get....
Hint—the President was not chosen until a day before the term of President Grant expired!
Thanks for posting this info.
Regarding 1876-77, do you know why Rutherford was Inaugurated in March? It looks like they held Inauguration Day in the first week of March in those days?
I wonder why it was moved up to January 20th and when...
That’s a long time for a disputed election.

Inauguration
Because March 4, 1877, was a Sunday, Hayes took the oath of office privately on Saturday, March 3, in the Red Room of the White House, the first president to do so in the Executive Mansion. He took the oath publicly on March 5 on the East Portico of the United States Capitol.[122] In his inaugural address, Hayes attempted to soothe the passions of the past few months, saying that “he serves his party best who serves his country best”.[123] He pledged to support “wise, honest, and peaceful local self-government” in the South, as well as reform of the civil service and a full return to the gold standard.[124] Despite his message of conciliation, many Democrats never considered Hayes’s election legitimate and referred to him as “Rutherfraud” or “His Fraudulency” for the next four years.[125]
