If it is just that we have a rerun of the Alaska Senate election," then I'd certainly want some kind of relief for Don Seigelman, but why stop there? Is it really too late to undo Bush v. Gore? And while we are at it, there is much to be said for a second look at this. Harry Turtledove, where are you when we need you?
Come to think of it, the South might not have wanted to secede in the first place, if they knew then what we know now.

Update: My attention is directed to two points. One, Harry Turtledove has indeed dealt with this topic; see link. And two, what I really want is probably not a Tilden win in 1876, but a win by Hayes so big that he wouldn't have had to enter into a corrupt bargain.
