Why Do Nebraska and Maine Vote for President The Way They Do?  And Other Esoterica of The 2020 Election

Only one person has been elected President twice in non-consecutive terms. But it was not easy. To do it Grover Cleveland had to pass a few difficult tests. From Goody-Goodies to Anti-Snappers, to Anti-Egoists and Scarecrow Festivals; from entering opposing party contests in secret ways to placing bets for your own candidate, to pretending to run in states and letting a third party win, to taking forceful honest stands, 1892 had everything. It was a triumph of navigating complex steampower politics.
The first being, did he really want to run again?

GROVER CLEVELAND'S NON-CONSECUTIVE SECOND TERM: Undeniably Un-consecutive, The Election of 1892

In our third episode on the close 1916 election, a group of events take place between the nomination of candidates and the voting that help to determine the election. In the end, it comes down to two states.
In a development that will never happen again in history, many voters are not enamored with either candidate.  Why they decide to pick one or the other, or not vote, is what we will examine in this episode.

THE ELECTION OF 1916 - Part Three; Not a Man To Be Enthused About

Both major parties have their conventions. The Democratic swashbucklers are at the podium, firing up a party to get excited about Wilson by linking him to a cause. One he didn't ask to be linked to. The Republicans get their party united, and toastmaster Warren G. Harding is fierce as he makes the case to dump Wilson. The Socialists also pick new candidates, a decision which may be as impactful as anything on Election Day.
