The Calumet Accountant November 2012 1800 Presidential Election Results
"Democratic-Republican Thomas Jefferson defeated Federalist John Adams by a margin of seventy-three to sixty-five electoral votes in the presidential election of 1800. When presidential electors cast their votes, however, they failed to distinguish between the office of president and vice president on their ballots. Jefferson and his running mate Aaron Burr each received seventy-three votes. With the votes tied, the election was thrown to the House of Representatives as required by Article II, Section 1 of the U.S. Constitution. There, each state voted as a unit to decide the election. Still dominated by Federalists, the sitting Congress loathed to vote for Jefferson—their partisan nemesis. For six days starting on February 11, 1801, Jefferson and Burr essentially ran against each other in the House. Votes were tallied over thirty times, yet neither man captured the necessary majority of nine states. Eventually, Federalist James A. Bayard of Delaware, under intense pressure and fearing for the future of the Union, made known his intention to break the impasse. As Delaware’s lone representative, Bayard controlled the state’s entire vote. On the thirty-sixth ballot, Bayard and other Federalists from South Carolina, Maryland, and Vermont cast blank ballots, breaking the deadlock and giving Jefferson the support of ten states, enough to win the presidency."

Message from Mark T. Camarena, President Dear Friends: For many years between my yard and my neighbor’s yard there has been a red fence. It was there when I moved in over thirteen years ago. I have seen many neighbors come and go, but the fence remained. On the advent of past spring seasons, I used to think to myself "I am going to replace that fence with a vinyl one as it has seen better days." I had thought about this for at least ten years but never took the time. Recently some strong winds knocked the fence over and I was forced to replace it. So one evening, I began to dismantle the fence, and not being very handy I knew that it would take a long time. Fortunately my sister, brother-in-law, and their children came to visit and upon seeing my state of calamity, came to my assistance. Something that would have taken me hours to accomplish alone was done in about thirty minutes. However, the process of building a new fence is a lot more laborious than the process of breaking it down. This incident made me reflect on the growth of the Calumet Chapter of the IMA. While I certainly try, I don’t know that we thank you enough for being members of the Calumet Chapter of the IMA. I am glad that you have continued to support the chapter, and continue to refer like minded professionals who may benefit from membership. Unfortunately we see many people come for a year or two and get distracted. However, we really want everyone to stay and find value in our chapter, so if there is anything we can do to make the experience better for you please let us know. You can always e-mail me at markt4121@gmail.com. As we plan “Our Biggest Night of the Year” on Tuesday March 19, 2012 at Zuni’s in Crown Point Indiana, we are seeking 4 volunteers to take part in a Q and A session with our members. We are also looking for some door prizes, so if you can help us out please let me know. Our November tradition is a two hour ethics presentation that will meet the CPE requirement for all the holders of CMA certification. It is our hope that you will join us on Tuesday November 13, 2012 at Theo’s in Highland Indiana as this will be the last regular meeting of 2012. Prior to enjoying a wonderful Thanksgiving meal with your family, consider joining your fellow members of the Calumet Chapter of the IMA for a wonderful meal and ethics presentation. Together I know that we can build a future for our chapter that will reach the sky. Thank you for your Continued Support.
