This book delves into the contentious issues surrounding the counting and legitimacy of electoral votes during the disputed presidential election of 1876, focusing on the principles of democracy and the constitutional processes involved in counting the votes. It serves as a critical examination of the electoral system, emphasizing the importance of ensuring that all legitimate votes are counted fairly. In this work, Field addresses the practical and legal questions surrounding the election, such as who should count the votes, what constitutes a valid vote, and how to remedy any discrepancies in vote counts. He discusses the role of Congress in determining the legitimacy of electoral votes and argues for a rigorous and transparent process in counting to uphold the integrity of democratic governance. The book is not just an analysis of the 1876 election but also a broader commentary on the principles of justice and the rule of law in electoral processes, highlighting the dangers of fraud and the necessity for proper oversight.
