Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Federal Election Commission (FEC) was created in response to the Watergate scandal and the subsequent need for campaign finance reform, not directly due to any of the elections listed. However, the closest historical context related to electoral issues and reforms is the 1876 election, which highlighted the need for clearer electoral processes, although the FEC itself was established much later, in 1975.
