Nixon, Ford, Carter were 70’s, not after the 70’s. Reagan’s VP was a Bush, wasn’t it? Maybe they’re also including the primary ballots to count Clinton in 2008? But I don’t think she ran in 2012…
Oh yeah… no clue how I forgot about that. Guess I was specifically thinking about Clinton/Bush because they’re the ones who’ve had multiple in the family on the ballot.
I don’t think you’re correct.
On the ballot, not elected.
True, although them not being on the ballot would in turn also violate the “anyone can become president”-thing, no?
Obama’s running mate was Joe Biden, putting him on the ballot. 2016 had a Clinton on the ballot. Reagan’s VP was HW Bush.
The more accurate way to phrase this would be “This is the first election since 1980 to not have a Biden, Bush. or Clinton on the ballot.”
Assuming VPs are are included you do have to go back to the 1976 election to find a Bush, Clinton, and Biden free ballot
