April 2024 - Monthly Review

The Election Crisis of 1876? 2024?

Munis are not always party affiliated. Historically, performance is not always based on which party wins. Munis react more on the uncertainties of which economic or social programs could or could not be implemented. 2024 is election year and is sizing up to be quite the “event”. With the “personalities” involved, the polarization of the nation, the current state of society and the lack of functionality in DC, could this be the ugliest election in US history? MainLine thinks this is a good time to review the most contentious presidential election ever: ”The Election 1876 – The Centennial Crisis”.
