text_A: During the joint session of Congress for the counting of the electoral vote on February 12, 1873, five states had objections that were raised regarding their results. These objections affected the outcome of the election, unlike the objections that would be raised in 1877.
text_B: Regardless of whether an observer at the time agreed with the states or not, would he be likely to conclude that perhaps the electoral system was in need of some reforms before the 1881 election, given the way that objections had significantly impacted two outcomes in a row?
NO.
