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 impacted the outcome of the election that year, just as they would do again in 1877.
text_B: Without knowing exactly who was running in 1877, but with the knowledge that American presidents are more likely than not to win a second term, could a reader of this passage think that the five states that objected in 1873 were more motivated to do so in 1877, since they would feel that they should have had their favored candidate in the more advantageous position of the incumbent?
NO.
