Termination of voting in Ohio

On November 8, 2016, Ohio governor Roger Olmstead announced that in coordination with the secretary of state, all voting centers in the state would be closed with voting in the 2016 United States elections terminated indefinitely. Olmstead announced that the purpose of the termination was credible chatter of terrorist attacks at voting centers.

U.S. President Frank Underwood needed to win Ohio in order to win reelection to a second term; it was widely considered that he would lose the state based on voting trends. White House Chief of Staff Doug Stamper directed Aidan Macallan to insert the chatter of terrorist attacks, which convinced Olmstead to terminate voting in the state. The vote's termination resulted in the failure of Ohio to certify its results, tying the presidential election at 269-269 electoral votes for Underwood and Republican Will Conway. As a result, a contingent election was scheduled in the United States Congress pursuant to the Twelfth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution for January 2017. Underwood subsequently withdrew his concession.

During the summit, he informed the governors that there was an extensive threat of terrorist incidents that would take place on election day during the 2016 presidential election. As a result, he informed them that he signed an executive order to swell all 50 U.S. state national guard troops to create "secure voting centers" where citizens would cast their ballots with a military presence for security. In actuality, the plan was part of Underwood's criminal scheme to undermine the election in order to secure his reelection to a second term by force if necessary.

Republican senator Curtis Haas, a Tea Party member, countered by raising it to 68 to save an additional $300 billion with the elimination of early retirement, which Democratic leadership rejected.

2016 United States presidential election

The **2016 United States presidential election** was the 58th quadrennial presidential election, held on Tuesday, November 8, 2016. The original results of the election were inconclusive: neither the Democratic ticket of incumbent president Frank Underwood and first lady Claire Underwood or the Republican ticket of New York governor Will Conway and retired U.S. Army general Ted Brockhart received the necessary 270 electoral votes needed to be elected. As a result, a contingent election was held in the United States Congress on January 16, 2017; the U.S. Senate narrowly elected Claire Underwood as vice president but the U.S. House of Representatives failed to elect a president by inauguration day, sparking a constitutional crisis. A second general election held in Tennessee and Ohio, two states that failed to certify their results, were won by Underwood and resulted in his reelection to a second term. The Supreme Court ruled the election to be invalid in the landmark *United States v. Underwood*, but as Underwood was already inaugurated to a legal term, he could not be removed from office except through impeachment. The ruling inadvertently permitted him to run for reelection in 2020, due to the wording of the Twenty-second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.
2020 United States presidential election

Underwood,* which permitted his candidacy. The election was the first consecutive rematch between the two major party's nominees since 1956.

None of the contributions went to the Democratic Party.

Underwood was suspicious of potential funneling from industrialist Raymond Tusk. During the trip, Stamper discovered that Xander Feng, Tusk's Chinese business partner and the back-channel from the 2014 Washington summit, made 38 trips to the casino since 2005.

Raid of Muhammed Kalabi's house

On November 8, 2016, hours after voting in the 2016 United States elections opened, U.S. President Frank Underwood ordered the Federal Bureau of Investigation to raid the home of suspected terrorist Muhammed Kalabi in Knoxville, Tennessee. During a call with Tennessee governor Mitch Scanlon, who was not informed of the plans, Underwood claimed the raid was over fears of a terrorist attack at a voting center in the state.

Underwood was briefed by the National Security Council of Kalabi's threat weeks before the election, but he waited until Election Day to approve the raid as part of his efforts to undermine the legitimacy of the presidential election. The home raided by the Federal Bureau of Investigation was owned by a different Muhammed Kalabi, an American citizen.

As the Jordan Valley has been occupied by Israel since 1967, and is not formally under their sovereignty, Underwood did not need to seek congressional approval. The purpose was to convince the Israelis after they were skeptical of American commitment to a potential peacekeeping mission which caused them to withdraw their support. After the order was signed, Israel recommitted to supporting the mission.
