Year(s) Discussed: 1800-1801
The election rematch between President John Adams and Vice President Thomas Jefferson in 1800 did not go quite according to plan thanks to the original method of electors casting ballots. In this episode, I am joined by friend and fellow podcaster, Howard Dorre from Plodding Through the Presidents, to discuss the ins and outs of that complicated election that devolved into a constitutional crisis and what we felt were the key takeaways from it. More sources for learning about this election can be found at https://www.presidenciespodcast.com.
Special thanks to Howard Dorre from Plodding Through the Presidents for joining me for this episode, and thanks to Christian of Your Podcast Pal for his audio editing work on this episode!
