Electoral College Challenged By Dems

HeadlineJan 07, 2005

For only the second time since 1877, the certification of a presidential election victory was challenged in the Congress. A small group of Democrats forced House and Senate debates on Election Day problems in Ohio before letting Congress certify President Bush’s victory over Sen. John Kerry in November.
