@billmckibben How long do you believe it will be before an affordable electric vehicle with a range of say 350 miles before recharging will be available? I really want to buy electric.

Remember how third-party Presidential candidates in 2000 and 2016 may have split the vote & helped to decide the outcome. In 2024, one or more of such candidates could even throw the election to the House of Representatives to decide. Watch who might be financing them and why.

On this day in 1877, just two days before inauguration, the U.S. Congress declares Rutherford B. Hayes the winner of the 1876 U.S. presidential election even though Samuel J. Tilden had won the popular vote. This compromise essentially ended Reconstruction.

[Stephen A. Rhodes @StephenARhodes]

@takingaction4us @HC_Richardson No, I didn’t.

[Stephen A. Rhodes @StephenARhodes]

@DrLisaCorrigan Likewise.

[Stephen A. Rhodes @StephenARhodes]
