I plan to run through every US presidential election, two per week. The 28 elections from 1789-1896 will be run simultaneously with the 28 elections from 1900-2008. Be sure to vote in each election!

For 1789-1800, I will include in the poll everyone who received at least 5% of the electoral vote. From 1804-2008, I will include everyone who received at least 0.05% of the popular vote. Results for each election will be posted on the dedicated Retrospective US Presidential Election Results Thread (here) and compared to the actual results. The thread for general project discussion is here.

Here's the link to the 1824 election.
 

Know Nothing

"For nearly four years you have had an Administration which instead of twirling its thumbs has rolled up its sleeves. We will keep our sleeves rolled up.

We had to struggle with the old enemies of peace: business and financial monopoly, speculation, reckless banking, class antagonism, sectionalism, war profiteering.

They had begun to consider the Government of the United States as a mere appendage to their own affairs. We know now that Government by organized money is just as dangerous as Government by organized mob.

Never before in all our history have these forces been so united against one candidate as they stand today. They are unanimous in their hate for me – and I welcome their hatred.

I should like to have it said of my first Administration that in it the forces of selfishness and of lust for power met their match. I should like to have it said of my second Administration that in it these forces met their master."

Why would anyone not vote for FDR?

Well, the poll choices have Stalinists, Prohibitionists, FDR-lite chosen by the few remaining wealthy Republicans, Father Coughlin's demagogues, and socialists who don't like the New Deal.
Oh, that doesn't answer your question. :D

I love how people are like "FDR's going to win so I'll throw away my vote" and as a result FDR is winning less than OTL (and our 1932).

I'm amused that people voted for the foaming-at-the-mouth bigots/conspiracy theorists/reactive populists who formed the base of the Union Party.
