Bill Woodward, Professor Emeritus of History at Seattle Pacific University, brings us this collection of odd electoral tales. From a contest when the sitting Vice-President defeated the sitting President (and was almost bested by his own running mate), through the several elections when nobody won at first, to the election when dangling chads, a dissident candidate, and a divided court determined the outcome, this tour through the quadrennial selection of a President reveals the many occasions when the improbable and impossible happened – almost routinely.
