Description: 1800 newspaper JOHN ADAMS ELECTED PRESIDENT "Dewey Defeats Truman" false report 1800 newspaper JOHN ADAMS RE-ELECTED US PRESIDENT - An early "Dewey Defeats Truman"-like false report in the election which was won by THOMAS JEFFERSON - inv # 6Q-325 Please visit our EBAY STORE for THOUSANDS MORE HISTORICAL NEWSPAPERS for SALE or at auction SEE PHOTO(s) - COMPLETE ORIGINAL NEWSPAPER, the Boston Gazette (MA) dated Dec 11, 1800. This original newspaper contains a prominent inside page report that JOHN ADAMS had been RE-ELECTED PRESIDENT of the US in the Election of 1800. In fact, John Adams was NOT re-elected President in the election of 1800 as the winner of that election would be THOMAS JEFFERSON. This is the earliest "DEWEY DEFEATS TRUMAN" false headline report in a US Presidential election, preceding the famous 1948 "Dewey Defeats Truman" headline by 148 years !!! Thomas Jefferson (Democratic-Republican) defeated John Adams (Federalist) in the presidential election of 1800 by an electoral vote of seventy-three to sixty-five. However, because electors could not distinguish between president and vice president when voting prior to the Twelfth Amendment (1804), Jefferson and his running mate, Aaron Burr, received the same number of votes in the Electoral College. With the vote tied, the presidential election was then decided by the House of Representatives as stipulated in Article II, Section 1, of the U.S. Constitution. After thirty-six ballots, the Federalist-controlled House finally elected Thomas Jefferson president on February 17, 1801."Dewey Defeats Truman" was an incorrect banner headline on the front page of the Chicago Daily Tribune (later Chicago Tribune) on November 3, 1948, the day after incumbent United States president Harry S. Truman won an upset victory over his opponent, Governor Thomas E. Dewey of New York, in the 1948 presidential election. It was famously held up by Truman at a stop at St. Louis Union Station following his successful election, smiling triumphantly at the error.This is not the only instance in which the media has declared an incorrect result in an election. This includes newspapers publishing headlines reporting inaccurate projections of election results, and broadcast media announcing inaccurate projections. The following are select examples of this.The morning following the 1916 United States presidential election the Brown Daily Herald prematurely published the headline "Hughes Elected to Presidency; Republicans Carry Both Houses". This proved to be entirely erroneous, as once the results were fully counted, Democratic incumbent Woodrow Wilson won reelection to the presidency and Democrats won both chambers of the United States Congress.In the morning after the 1960 United States presidential election, NBC wrongly projected John F. Kennedy as having won the state of California (Richard Nixon would ultimately prove the winner of that state).In the 2000 United States presidential election, a number of television networks initially made projections on election night that Al Gore had won in the state of Florida, and with it, the presidency, before retracting their projections. Around 2:00 am EST the following morning, a number of networks projected George W. Bush the victor in Florida, before retracting this projection roughly an hour later and declaring the race "too close to call".[16][18] Bush would ultimately win a narrow victory in the state after a United States Supreme Court decision halted a recount of the state's results.In the 2016 United States presidential election, following Hillary Clinton's predicted victory, the magazine Newsweek printed copies with Clinton's face alongside the caption "Madam President" on the cover and sent them to stores. Following Donald Trump's upset victory, they quickly corrected the error. Very good condition. This listing includes the complete entire original newspaper, NOT just a clipping or a page of it.
