Presidential campaigns today seem to be massive, well-oiled machines. But that doesn't mean American election history is without its oddities.<br /><br />For example, the Farmers Almanac says President Zachary Taylor never, ever voted. He kept his political beliefs a secret all the way up until his 1848 election.<br /><br />According to The Famer's Almanac, George Washington’s entire campaign budget for his 1758 election to the House of Burgesses was spent on liquor.<br /><br />Borrowing an English tradition, Washington spent 50 British pounds on 160 gallons of alcohol that was given to 390 voters.<br /><br />Originally, only white male American property owners could vote in US elections. But the 1920 Nineteenth Amendment gave women the right to vote, too.<br /><br />According to the Farmer's Almanac, since 1964, more women voters have gone to the polls than male voters during presidential election years.
