1800 was done under the rules OF the Constitution. The primary difference would have been the election of either Jefferson (who did win) or Aaron Burr. Burr was a schemer of course and his presidency would have altered history somewhat, but I suspect not significantly. I believe he would not have been re-elected had he won.

The whole "Bernie got robbed" issue in 2016 continues to gall me and it infects the progressive movements (of which I am an adherent) from being a functioning political force. There is a Facebook page for Grand Rapids United Progressives to which I have not been allowed to join despite wanting single payer health care, free college, reduction in military spending etc- the reason I am not allowed to join is that one must answer ONE question: "Do you think that the election was stolen from Bernie in 2016?" Apparently answering "no" keeps one from 'being a progressive'
