November 1920. Washington, D.C. "Washington Herald election screen."

VOTELESS District of Columbia November 5, 2024
In reply to Election Screen: 1920: The Kaufman ad has it right: in 1920, residents of the District of Columbia could not vote in presidential elections, and had no representation in the Senate or the House of Representatives. A century later, DC has three electoral votes, based on population, but with the stipulation that it […]

In reply to Election Screen: 1920: The Herald merged with the Times - not connected with the current "Washington Times" - in 1939; together they folded into the Post in 1954. The merger of election returns with "Lots of Comedy" -- some might argue farce -- has been more recent.

Maybe not so big a Paradigm Shift after all.....Yagi has Spark Again October 22, 2024
So many notions, most unrealistic in the end, ran through my feeble brain the last week or so.Substitute the TW200 with an E-Bike?
