The 2008 United States Presidential Election was a democratic election held in the United States on November 4, 2008. The two main candidates were the Conservative Party's candidate, Sarah Palin of Alaska, and the Socialist Party's candidate, Dennis Kucinich of Ohio. The election was marred by scandal in 2010 as voter fraud and disenfranchisement of minorities in the states of Florida, Delaware and Arkansas led to Palin's victory, when it was later discovered that the actual winner of all three states was Kucinich, thereby making him the actual elected president of the United States.

abstract
  • The 2008 United States Presidential Election was a democratic election held in the United States on November 4, 2008. The two main candidates were the Conservative Party's candidate, Sarah Palin of Alaska, and the Socialist Party's candidate, Dennis Kucinich of Ohio. Initial projections had Palin winning by a landslide, however numerous gaffes on the campaign trail and strong campaigning by Kucinich led to the race being much closer than it actually was, resulting in 51% of the electorate going to Palin and 49% of the electorate going to Kucinich. Palin also won the electoral college, 221 to 210. The election was marred by scandal in 2010 as voter fraud and disenfranchisement of minorities in the states of Florida, Delaware and Arkansas led to Palin's victory, when it was later discovered that the actual winner of all three states was Kucinich, thereby making him the actual elected president of the United States. Because of the 2010 impeachment of President Palin, Vice President John McCain and several other high-ranking Conservative Party members, the United States congress called for a 2010 Presidential Recall Election, which was easily won by Kucinich-Wellstone.
