Does this map look familiar? "1876 #US #presidential #election #contested #states

"#Tilden clearly won the popular vote, but the electoral vote as contested in four states for various reasons. Ironically (from today’s perspective) the Republicans accused the Democrats of suppressing the vote of African Americans in the South."

"The upshot of all this was the #CompromiseOf1877, an informal bit of horse-trading by #Congress to give the majority of electoral votes to #Hayes in return for the withdrawal of federal troops protecting the rights of former slaves in the South, thus ending #Reconstruction and paving the way for the #JimCrow era to begin."

Hi there Mastodon. I am new here on Mastodon – and so are many of you too. I am a sociologist of science (also #STS)and am mainly interested in how scientific claims and scientists acquire and maintain #credibility. I love to study #contested #knowledge domains, including the scientific #reform community, #food and #nutrition science, and a lot more. Want to know more? I’ll be sharing my work here, but also random rants and politics.
US election: President-elect Joe Biden calls to end 'grim era of demonisation', in victory speech · The One Hot News

President Donald Trump refused to acknowledge defeat, complicating the transition and Biden's task of calming tensions in a nation in the throes of a pandemic, economic uncertainty and extreme partisan passions. Obama, who stumped for his friend and vice president in Florida, Georgia and other contested states, said Saturday that "when he walks into the White House in January, he'll face a series of extraordinary challenges no incoming President ever has - a raging pandemic, an unequal economy and justice system, a democracy at risk, and a climate in peril”. It will be up to not just Joe and Kamala, but each of us, to do our part - to reach out beyond our comfort zone, to listen to others, to lower the temperature and find some common ground."
