Precedent: The Last Time a Bunch of Electoral College Votes Were Tossed Out

The Democrat Party’s penchant for lying makes it really easy to ascertain truth these days. If a Democrat says something that you disagree with – you know they’re lying. Like all of the media/Democrat noise these days that it would be “unprecedented” for Electoral College votes to be tossed out for voter fraud. In their minds, if something hasn’t happened within their lifetimes, then it must have “never” happened in US history. These people are liars. There is absolutely precedent for tossing out Electoral College votes because of fraud.

The idea that “the clock is ticking” for President Trump’s reelection is also not exactly true. It could take quite a while to sort this election out, and guess what? The country will be just fine if it does take a long while to get an accurate election result. Check out what happened in 1876.

Ohio Governor Rutherford B. Hayes was the Republican nominee that year. New York Governor Samuel Tilden was the Democrat nominee. With fewer states in those days, a candidate needed 185 Electoral College votes to win the election.

You might want to sit down for this bit of news, but the Democrats cheated in Florida, Louisiana and South Carolina. I know. Weird, right?

Even though the Civil War was over and federal troops were stationed in southern states, the Democrats still turned out in droves to attack black Americans and prevent them from voting for Hayes. Ballot box stuffing and other shenanigans took place. At the end of the election, both the Republicans and Democrats declared victory in the presidential race, even though the “official result” with all the fraud and violence gave Tilden the victory.

But with those three Southern states in dispute, Tilden had 184 Electoral College votes – just one shy of victory. The Republican Hayes had 165 votes. He’d need to run the table on the remaining 20 outstanding votes in Florida, Louisiana and South Carolina to win.

Each party sent dueling electors to the Electoral College vote, so naturally, it was a mess that was impossible to decide. Congress ended up appointing an Electoral College Commission, comprised of eight Republicans, eight Democrats and one Supreme Court Justice. The Commission immediately voted to award the outstanding 20 electoral votes to Rutherford B. Hayes.

Democrats pitched a fit (of course) and refused to concede to Hayes as the victor. The members of the Electoral College Commission then negotiated a deal. The Democrats agreed to concede their fraudulent victory if Republicans would pull the federal troops out of Southern states under Reconstruction. Hayes was sworn in as president in March of 1876. (The 20th Amendment later moved Inauguration Day to January.)

The Electoral College votes of three states were basically tossed out and/or overturned due to Democrat Party fraud. As a result of that messy election, Congress passed the Electoral Count Act a few years later, which is federal law that stands to this day. In the event of a big mess in the Electoral College due to disputed outcomes or fraud (which is what we have right now), the presidential election is decided by the House of Representatives.

Under the rules of the Electoral Count Act, each state gets one vote. That, of course, would result in a 26-23 Trump victory over Kamala Harris. Oh, sorry, I meant to say, over “Joe Biden.”

It is in no way “unprecedented” for Electoral College votes to be thrown out due to fraud. This would be a messy path to victory for President Trump, but I’d take it over sitting here for four years trying to pretend that Kamala Harris was legitimately elected or had any authority over me.

Another big lesson from the past is that Republicans in Congress cleaned the mess up! They passed the Electoral Count Act in order to stop the Democrats from throwing the system into chaos in the future.

That should be the main focus of Republicans after this election is sorted out and Trump is inaugurated for his second term. Those of us on the right only have three choices going forward: Stop the Democrats from cheating like this again by banning unsecure electronic and mail-in voting; cheat just as much and just as viciously as the Democrats; or lose forever.

    The Demon crats are a bunch of lying criminals and should be arrested and sent to prison with a heavy fine and be there for life. NO BAILS !

  2. Dexter Trimnell says

    Throw out all the states that use machines that are rigged. Which is all the machines vote in person with i.d.

  3. ONLYJB1 says

    In person voting ONLY! Must have valid govt. issued I.D., Only the use of paper ballots. ONLY hand counted ballots with (2) witnesses observing. NOW, get around all of this communist dems. I believe we will find all of this crap FIXED! This AIN’T rocket science!!!!!!

  4. Roberta King says

    The one SCOTU rep that would be sent now would no doubt be John Roberts, the RINO!

  5. jack says

    I DO like general Flynn’s proposal. Martial law ONLY to effect a re-vote monitored by the U.S. military ,supervised by the adjutant general . ALL voting will be done IN PERSON with proper,LEGAL Id’s. NO mail ballots EXCEPT military. Much of the existing military ballots may stand ,if they can be found, and have NOT been tampered with ! It is abundantly CLEAR that “massive” fraud has been perpetrated on U.S. CITIZENS by crooked democrats in league with china and Iran (as well as others) General Flynn is spot on about civil war. I have “heard” of several groups who are already at battalion strength ,heavily armed and ready to go. Sorry to say this is no longer just rhetoric . Of course, the democrat/liberals REALLY don’t think it will happen .BLIND FOOLS !

  6. Greg Miller says

    NOW do you understand the DemonKKKrat push to bury / confuse / revise history?

  7. Frank Quevedo says

    And added; why don’t the commie-crats want U.S. history taught in all of our schools (K – 12). I had a course in this in the 5th grade😉. I knew of this election, you might want to hold onto something, way back in 1965! And I NEVER heard one teacher shout; defund the police. Let’s do this TRUMP (still going strong) 2020!

  8. Mario Locasto says

    The answer is simple the electoral college court must be convened there is too much evidence of fraud in the THOSES Democratic Govern swing states. This can’t be Ignored and must be addressed immediately! The THOSES involved with this treasonous action must be prosecuted for their willfully participation no matter high the chain of command the conspiracy goes. The questionable evidence is pointing to the election board and the counters and the liberal judges Participation along with the liberal media?

  9. Mea says

    Throw out the electoral votes and the Domino Voting Machine… keep the Military Absentee Ballot votes only and vote in person with PHOTO ID …. this all has to take place with supervision by the military and why not have hand counting …. no machines …, they are all tainted at the moment!!!!

  10. rcp says

    Remember what Hillary said before the election? “If Joe Biden loses, he should not concede under any circumstances”. Now they’re criticizing Trump for doing just that. Why isn’t this being talked about on the news?

  11. Mikeditka89 says

    What would be even better out them in straitjackets in a mental institution for the rest of their psychotically pathetic, worthless, useless, miserable lives!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

  12. Chief Wahoo says

    Justice John Roberts is no conservative. He has voted with the three known leftist justices recently on most issues. It appears that the Establishment has black-mailed him on some personal issues.

  13. Fed Up says

    You’ve got that RIGHT! Roberts is compromised! Wish someone could do a complete investigation. Judges legislating fom the bench is NOT PART OF THE CONSTITUTION!

  14. Claudia Garland says

    I totally agree with ONLYJB1. We must go back to in person voting with a pencil and the ballot. We must show a valid picture ID to vote. Any ballots that need to be absentee because of illness and infirmity and these need be investigated also to be certain about the person voting absentee. I feel that the next election may be a non-starter because of the behavior of this 2020. We have long memories and I fear that in 2024 less people will even vote because of the debacle of 2020. The peoples will have distrust in the elections. What a sad state for the great nation. The United States are not in Unity.

  15. Lary says

    I no longer consider Democrats fellow Americans. They are all treasonous scumbags them and their voters.
    “or lose forever.” Lol
    Civil war is the only opportunity to fix this from ever happening again.

  16. Larry says

    I no longer consider Democrats fellow Americans. They are all treasonous dirtbags them and their voters.
    CW2 is a decade overdue and the only solution.

  17. Craig Murphy says

    It’s not that Democrats are lying about the unprecedented, it’s that they do not read history assuming of course they can read. Adverting to Ronald Reagan, he said to the effect that its not that liberals don’t know anything, it’s just that what they know is wrong.

  18. Eddie Price says

    Sounds exactly like what is happening in this election!

  19. CAROLE says

    THE VOTES SHOULD BE RECOUNTED IN ANY STATE SUPPOSEDLY WON BY DEMOCRATS.

    ONLY A FOOL WOULD BELIEVE THAT ANYONE WOULD VOTE FOR A PARTY THAT SANCTIONS ANARCHY/BURNING & LOOTING OF CITIES, BLM/ANTIFA/GANG DESTRUCTIVE MARCHES, DEFUNDING POLICE/LAW ENFORCEMENT, DOWN-SIZING MILITARY, WAGING A 5 YR. CONSPIRATORIAL WAR OF HOAX CHARGES AGAINST A PRESIDENT WHO HAS BEEN PROVEN INNOCENT, SUPPORTING A KNOWN COVID-19 US/WUHAN LABS CONNECTED MED. “AUTHORITY” ADVISOR TO OUR NATION, OBSTRUCTING/RESISTING WORKING FOR THE PEOPLE OF THE USA, RUNNING A MENTALLY INCOMPETENT FOR PRESIDENT, HATCHING PLANS TO WIPE OUT CONSERVATIVES/BLACKS/JEWS/CHRISTIANS…AND INSTITUTING DEATH BY FIRING SQUAD (BEFORE BEING ELECTED …LEGALLY). AND THEN SOME!!!

    GOD BLESS AMERICA, AND PRES. TRUMP. OUR NATION, AND ALL OF US ARE IN GREAT PERIL.

  20. Katydid says

    That’s why the Dems and Liberals want to cancel history. The camel not only has his nose under the tent, but he almost has his whole body under.

  21. Do Your Job says

    TRUMP/PENCE 2020…STOP THE STEAL !!!…STOP THE FRAUD !!!… JAIL ALL THE PERPETRATORS !!!

  22. Sandy C says

    The quickest and easiest way to settle the election is just like they did back in 1876 when the Dems Cheated to try to elect Samuel J Tiden as President but They’re Fraud was caught just like today! Both parties claimed the election. Each party sent dueling electors to the Electoral College vote it was a mess! Congress ended up appointing an Electoral College Commission, comprised of eight Republicans and eight Democrats and one Supreme Court Justice (should be Amy Coney Barrett today). The Commission immediately voted to basically throw out the three states electoral votes (due to Democrat Fraud). Today it would be 6 states and they gave the electoral votes to Republican Rutherford B Hayes as President of 1876! Congress then passed the Electoral Count Act which is federal Law that still stands today! The President elect is decided by the House of Representatives. Under this rule each state gets one vote, that of course would result in a 26-23 TRUMP VICTORY!!! So the stupid Dems that say this is Unprecedented don’t know history or just can’t read! Of course the Dems raised hell just like they will today, so Be Ready Republicans!!!

  23. DAV says

    Goals of Lie-beral DEMONocrats : Kontinue corruption, Koddle illegals, and Kill babies= KKK

    Skills of Lie-beral DEMONocrats : Slinging bullshit, raising our taxes, and slinging more bullshit.

  24. Dave says

    The problem is. all we have to fight with is Republicans, which is like being unarmed.

  25. Eva Davis says

    Trump is president so just continue his term for 4 more years ….problem solved…

  26. A. Willis says

    I agree with all of my fellow Patriots. President Trump said this would happen. He knew those paper ballots would be fraudulently rigged. MoveOn.Com has admitted to guaranteeing Biden-Harris victory in the battleground states. They’ve also said they had 7 million of their “soldiers” on the ground to ensure this. Will somebody please get those people indicted for treason against the United States of America and the people herein. Thanks guys, this fight is not over until we win.

  27. Doug Litchfield says

    How any other world government would strike any deals, pacts, or treaties with this bunch of democratic misfits is beyond belief. Leftists have to resort to rigged elections and judges who will not stand behind our constitution to butcher our way of life.

  28. Nora says

    I agree the dems are guilty they should be punished.

  29. Lyudmila Loeva says

    Is it, in principle, possible to stop the Democrats from any kind of fraud? If you say that this is possible, then they will no longer be democrats.

  30. Old wolf says

    Funny how no one ever learns any lessons from the past about the delusional democrats . Just open ones eyes to see the truth . It shows everywhere and with all the people they destroyed for the power .

  31. boston 1936 says

    the only thing now is to lock and load your ar 15 and ar 45 the democrats are nothing but a bunch of lying crooks. looks like a culture civil war on the horizon.what a shame.

  32. William Siems says

    Everyone that has participated in, and certainly those who have supervised, the comprehensive election fraud that took place in the 2020 election, should be charged with election violations at every level. Send some of these folks to jail to do real time and that will cut down on election fraud in this country in a big way! We, the citizens, must not stand for this any longer and must demand that our justice system enforce election law!

  33. paw paw says

    Was the Democrat Party EVER honest??!! WHY do we tolerate them??!!
