BONUS: The Hayes-Tilden Election of 1876

Free and Fair with Franita and Foley

What can we learn from one of the most contentious presidential elections in American history? In this episode, Edward Foley (Ohio State Moritz College of Law) and Franita Tolson (USC Gould School of Law) held a live recording of “Free and Fair” with fellow election scholar Michael Morley (Florida State University College of Law) and Jeffrey Rosen (president and CEO of the National Constitution Center) to discuss the 1876 Hayes-Tilden election. We partnered with the National Constitution Center to record this episode in front of a live virtual audience. It also ran on their podcast, “Live at the National Constitution Center,” where you can hear more live constitutional conversations like this one. This discussion was moderated by Jeffrey Rosen, who hosts the podcast “We the People,” where he’s joined by experts to explain the constitutional issues at the center of American life. This episode was produced by Jackie McDermott, Tanaya Tauber, and Lana Ulrich and engineered by Greg Scheckler of the National Constitution Center.
