School Library Journal - Scandals and Blunders That Killed Campaigns

Interesting and unusual facts about United States elections are presented in these six volumes. Readers learn that senate candidate Christine O’Donnell once claimed to be a witch, former movie star Ronald Reagan won the presidency, and Mr. Potato Head received four votes for mayor of Boise, Idaho. Other interesting tidbits include the 1804 presidential election when John Adams called Thomas ­Jefferson a ­coward and Jefferson’s campaign called Adams a fool, a middle school teacher ­created the Breakfast-All-Day party, and Hillary Clinton used a personal email server for government business, costing her the election.
