Electoral picture peculiarity

Why is the graphic depiction of electoral votes skewed? Rarely nowadays does one see democratic votes colored red and and republican votes blue. --maru (talk) Contribs 20:52, 15 January 2006 (UTC)

Correcting Names in roll call votes

I know this has been said before, but maybe it bears repeating. Many of the convention ballots at Wikipedia were not entered too well. When a candidate's name is not completely filled in, such as Illinois Senator Scott W. Lucas in this case being listed as "a certain Mr. Lucas," there are multiple internet sources in addition to printed sources for this information. One of the better internet sources would be (in this case) http://www.ourcampaigns.com/RaceDetail.html?RaceID=60084

Texas Regulars-nobody on this ticket?

Is it true that nobody ran on this ticket-yet it still came with .3% of the votes?

Poorly worded statement

This line "The passing of the 22nd Amendment of the United States Constitution in 1947 renders this election the only occasion in United States history in which a candidate has been allowed to run for a fourth term as president." is misleading or just poorly worded.

Anyone prior to FDR could have ran for as many terms as they were able to, its just that no one ran for a 3rd (and hence 4th) term. Saying no one was 'allowed' to makes it sound like the 22nd amendment allowed him to, when it just closed the door for later Presidents. 76.233.78.160 (talk) 05:41, 17 February 2009 (UTC)
