What was the first election ever accurately predicted by a poll? And how far off the mark was that poll? Also, which elections had the highest and lowest turnout throughout the years?

We are now officially in America’s 250th year of existence! To mark the beginning of the country’s semiquincentennial, AP reporter Leah Askarinam, Elections Insider deputy editor Jacob Rubashkin and I play a game of trivia looking back at American election data.

Our crew of election nerds faces off and even shares some personal “Roman Empire” elections. Jacob can’t stop thinking about the 2000 presidential election. Leah can’t stop thinking about the 2018 Florida governor’s race.
