Election Day

Okay, I just posted that today is my birthday ... and of course it is also Election Day!

This has only happened one other time since I turned 18 ... it was Tuesday, November 4, 1986. However, it was not a presidential election year. The last time my birthday coincided with a presidential election was Tuesday, November 4, 1980 (I was too young to vote then).

Two notable presidential elections which took place on November 4th:

1. On November 4, 1884, Democrat Grover Cleveland defeated Republican James G. Blaine.



2. Dwight D. Eisenhower was elected president on November 4, 1952.
