 | | The U.S. presidential election of 1888 was held on November 6, 1888. | | | This marked the first time since the controversial election of 1876 that a President-elect failed to win the popular vote; the feat would not be repeated until the controversial election of 2000. | | | The Republicans published this letter just two weeks before the election, where it had an effect on Irish-American voters exactly comparable to the "Rum, Romanism, and Rebellion" blunder of the previous election: Cleveland lost New York state and the presidency. |

| | As a result of the problems arising from the election, and to a lessert extent from the election of 1796, the Twelfth Amendment to the United States Constitution was ratified in 1804, providing that electors make a distinct choice between their selections for President and Vice President. | | | Under the United States Constitution, each presidential elector cast two votes, without distinction as to which was for President or for Vice President. | | | The election went to the United States House of Representatives, which over the course of the next six days cast a total of 35 ballots, with Thomas Jefferson receiving the votes of 8 state delegations each time - one short of the necessary majority of nine. |

| | In the last three national elections in Germany, the differential between the exit polls and the vote tallies was, on average, 0.27 percent; and in the last three elections to the European Parliament, the differential in Germany was 0.44 percent (S. Freeman 21 Nov. 2004). | | | Hugo Chávez’s landslide victory in August was a surprise only to the hostile U.S. corporate press, which had represented the Venezuelan election campaign as a dead heat: the last opinion poll prior to the referendum in fact showed Chávez leading by a wide margin, with 50 percent of registered voters to the opposition’s 38 percent. | | | As James Paterson’s compelling analysis of The Theft of the 2004 US Election makes clear, Republican intentions were evident well before the election. |

| | A second Bush presidency is also likely to strongly support congressional investigations into the Oil-for-Food scandal, undoubtedly a major threat to the standing and reputation of the United Nations—indeed, the scandal has the potential to bring down Kofi Annan and other senior U.N. officials. | | | The ill-fated program is now the subject of at least four congressional investigations, three U.S. federal investigations, as well as a U.N.-appointed commission of inquiry, the Volcker Commission. | | | Such remarks are deeply unhelpful at a time when the United States and Great Britain, with the support of U.N. Security Council Resolution 1546, are working tirelessly to generate greater international involvement in the reconstruction and stabilization of post-war Iraq. |

Bush would defeat Democrat Al Gore in the U.S. presidential election. |
