Final Jeopardy

I have been meaning to post this as it happened last week. As a true "Jeopardy" television game show addict, I was watching a few days back when the "final" Jeopardy question/answer was...."In this year for the first time in history, all states called in for absentee ballots in the Presidential Election", or something close to that. Of course I thought of a wartime situation where a mojority of voters might be employed out of the country. So did the contestants. The general response was the elections during WWII and Viet Nam. The correct answer/question was 1864. Seems Lincoln needed his army's vote to defeat McClellan. Just a bit of trivia for this board.
