TLS signed “Gerald R. Ford,” one page, 6.5 x 8.5, personal letterhead, November 16, 2000. Response to a citizen concerning the 2000 presidential election. In full: “I thank you for your thoughtful letter indicating your deep concern with the Presidential election circumstances. I share your apprehension as to what is taking place. I am in contact with some who are involved, indicating my willingness to be helpful. I will take a responsible public position when it seems appropriate.” In very fine condition. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope. George W. Bush narrowly won the November 7 election, with 271 electoral votes to Gore's 266. The election was noteworthy for a controversy over the awarding of Florida's 25 electoral votes and the unusual event of the winning candidate having received fewer popular votes than the runner-up. It was the closest election since 1876 and only the fourth election in which the electoral vote did not reflect the popular vote. Exceptional content from a former president. RRAuction COA.
