Presidential Elections
History usually repeats itself and politicians may not always learn from the mistakes of the past, but the Crystal Ball won't let anyone forget it. Browse through brief histories of the elections of the last half-century with all the relevant results and resources to help you see how far we may or may not have come. The previous 50 years are full of interesting patterns and phenomena, so step right into our own time capsule and visit with the ghosts of Novembers past. We promise it'll be an enlightening--and even eerily familiar--experience.
