→1930 Senate election in North Carolina
The U.S. Senate authorized the Privileges and Elections Committee to investigate the election;<ref name="1930 NC Sen"/> Bailey sent a request to dismiss the charges on the basis that he would have been the winner even if there was to be a recount. A subcommittee ultimately ruled the charges against Bailey were too vague and did not warrant the need for either a recount nor a full investigation, and the contest was dismissed by the Senate without a vote. Bailey was subsequently awarded $1,500 for legal expenses, and $4,000 for Pritchard.

===Woodrow Wilson===
Thomas J. Farnan observed in ''The National Pulse'':
{{quotebox-float|"the revitalized Democratic Party elected the despicable racist, [[Woodrow Wilson]] – who is still immortalized in Washington D.C. – as president. This victory was secured by suppressing black Republican votes in [[the South]] with literacy tests and the like, while Northern Republicans split their vote between [[Theodore Roosevelt]] and [[William Howard Taft]]. The stolen presidency of Woodrow Wilson had succeeded by 1914 in re-segregating even federal offices. President Wilson would make the pro-[[Ku Klux Klan]] film, ''The Birth of a Nation'', the first White House movie screening, after which he would remark, “It’s like writing history with lightning. My only regret is that it is all so terribly true.”<ref>https://thenationalpulse.com/analysis/the-increasingly-secret-history-of-the-racist-democrats-and-how-senile-boomer-biden-heralds-the-end/</ref>
