1876 U.S. Presidential Election

[H.E. VOLODYMYR ZELENKSYY]

Radicals, because the Whigs are dying. BTW, are we keeping the master thread around or has it died?

[H.E. VOLODYMYR ZELENKSYY]

I have a feeling this election might look a lot like 1844.

Real 1844 or Atlas 1844? And I do hope this Union thing blows over eventually - I don't want to see Grover Cleveland anywhere near the White House.

[H.E. VOLODYMYR ZELENKSYY]

The Radicals are gaining! Just three more votes and we can win this thing (assuming Dallas voted for Tilden)!

Already voted; I'm excited that we've gotten this far; we've never been second place before, and so close to winning!

In the world of this timeline, this will definitely energize the Radical partisans.

Indeed, although my infinite wisdom predicts a decade or so of Whigs acting as spoilers for the Radicals and allowing certain terrible people to become President. Perhaps Great-Grandpa Evans will be forced to head west.

It has. I suppose we non-Unionists will be forced to drown our sorrows in drink.

If we had the Whig vote, we would've won. Ah well, there's always 1880.

As usual, it's all Ben's fault .

Water for much of the Radical Party, I assume?

There is bitter intraparty fighting over the issue.

That's actually a bitter issue in the real-life Utah Democratic Party, I kid you not.

But yes, water for us Mormon Radicals, sir!

Wait, what? Do some Utah Democrats want to ban coffee/alcohol at their party events?

Well, they don't want to ban it, but the Democrats who are Mormons (more than you'd think) are weirded out by the Utah Dems holding events at bars/restaurants that serve alcoholic beverages/coffee shops, etc. They're especially weirded out by the "Drinking Liberally" events.

"Drinking Liberally" is a party-sanctioned event? We're missing out in New York.
