1. Cold Case Investigation
Is there evidence to prove that a “corrupt bargain’ took place during the election of 1824?

2. Facts of the Case
Four candidates are seeking the Presidential seat in the Election of 1824.
One person has the highest number of Electoral votes AND the Popular Vote, but NOT a majority, which is what he needs to win.
The vote goes to the House of Representatives to decide on the top 3 candidates!
One person has a tremendous amount of influence in the House; he persuades the votes to 1 particular candidate who then gives this person the position of Secretary of State in his cabinet.
