Summary

"In the early days of the United States, people voted for the president and vice president on the same ballot. In the presidential election of 1800, Thomas Jefferson and Aaron Burr received the same number of electoral votes. In this fictional blast to the past, Gaby, Zoe, and Will, members of Team Time Machine, witness the tie-breaking decision that led to the election of the third US president. Readers learn more about America's early political beginnings with humor and intrigue, while historical images and fact boxes provide them with the information they need to understand how the election process in the United States has changed since 1800"--, Provided by publisher
