My guess (and it’s only a guess) is that Sharon, realizing the difficult and thankless task of the presidency, voted against herself…twice.

Sharon, the last U.S. president to win election by such a popular vote landslide was James Monroe in 1820, and he ran unopposed as well.

In fact, my limited math skills suggest that you polled within a few points of Jimmy M.

That this was called the Era of Good Feelings perhaps bodes well for FT and the Board.

1820 election results

James Monroe Democratic-Republican Virginia 87,343 80.61% 228 electoral
No candidate Federalist N/A 17,465 16.12% 0 electoral

2013 election results:

SkiAdcock 7 votes, 78%


Rock on!
