Fraud of the century
Fairly dry, the introduction was better than the rest of the material. Covers the disputed 1876 election, caused by a electoral differences in Florida and decided by a single partisan member of the supreme court. Another interesting parallel is voters disenfranchised, the vote totals of whole counties thrown out. Focuses a little too much on the candidates backgrounds, doesn't cover the impact of reconstruction and carpetbaggers enough.
A short epilogue compares the presidency of Rutherford B. Hayes to what his challenger Samuel Tilden may have done, and was the second most interesting part of this dry story. Rated slightly more than 2 stars - it was better than OK, but not that great.
