There is one thing you left out....
When Dewey was announced as the winner, Truman Called him a "Dirty Yellow Dog" on the radio for everyone to hear. Seems like politics always brings out the worst in people.

Good Morning
I think there will always be some kind of controversy. I believe it's a sign of the times.

To me, as a girl from a very young age until...well probably The Vietnam War era, the USA was a sort of magical land full of happy healthy and very wealthy people. There were parades in every town, the movies were mostly produced in Hollywood . there was Snow in the winter. The only thing they didn't have was a Fairy Tail Queen. I even got to see her when she came to Australia. But they did have the magical mystery of Disneyland!!

Back in the good old days manners were still a consideration among people. We no longer live in a world where manners, empathy, and consideration of other's opinions are at the forefront. We all have an agenda for why we vote for a particular party. That is why it comes down to the importance of votes. I believe the old way worked well. Go in person to the voting booths. The mail-in ballots are risky and there is no way to determine who actually cast the vote when they do it behind closed doors without I.D. proving they are a living citizen.
