eighty nine, It was official George Washington was the first

34
00:02:34.680 --> 00:02:37.039
president of the United States. Yeah, the votes from the

of them. He also reads one hundred percent of the

37
00:02:41.800 --> 00:02:44.479

00:02:44.639 --> 00:02:47.159
do either one of those, and he did it twice. Well,

39
00:02:47.159 --> 00:02:49.759
that kind of helped that he ran unopposed though George,

40
00:02:49.759 --> 00:02:52.800
he was independent, no political party. Now, the voter turned

41
00:02:52.800 --> 00:02:55.360

so twenty eight thousand and nine white guys voted. Yeah,

44
00:03:01.639 --> 00:03:04.120
they had to be twenty one years old. They had

45
00:03:04.159 --> 00:03:08.360

46
00:03:08.360 --> 00:03:12.520
they couldn't come from some weird sect. They couldn't be retarded,

47
00:03:12.520 --> 00:03:14.319
they couldn't be a felon. They had to live here

49
00:03:17.080 --> 00:03:18.639
