Thank for that. The radio program iirc on Eric Metaxis (sp) didnt mention that in the piece detailing the long drawn out fiasco. Iirc Hayes only ended up with one more EC vote while his opponent had many more popular votes. One R governor or senator offered to sell his states EC votes to the Ds for $1 million. Yeah, rinos have been around for a while.
And BTW, Lincoln started the mail in ballots but all stories allowed in Goog searches show what a great thing it was.
