edit

- Comment: recommend hold for January 20, 2017 (U.S. presidential inauguration); this hook safely presupposes the winner of the 2016 U.S. election will not be unanimously elected

New and long enough, within policy, QPQ done. The fact about Washington winning the House of Burgesses election only after providing 160 gallons of alcohol to voters would make a much, much better hook, otherwise this is good to go. Antony–22 (talk⁄contribs) 19:14, 7 November 2016 (UTC)

- OK, User:Antony-22 Alt-1: ... that George Washington's campaign distributed 160 gallons of alcoholic drink to voters in the run-up to the 1758 Virginia House of Burgesses election? LavaBaron (talk) 18:28, 24 November 2016 (UTC)
