Subject: RE: BS: UK Guardian project to influence US vote
McGrath of Harlow:
The first election in the US was in 1796 when George Washington finished his second term. It was done by Electors some of which were chosen by voters and some were chosen the legislature of his state.
The first uniform Election Day, when the people in all states voted, was on November 4, 1845.
Some day the people of Afghanistan and Iraq will be discussing their first election. Provided the US and the UK stay the course.
