1873 and 1875[edit]

I just added 1873, based on the article French presidential election, 1873. However, what struck me when seeing the result is that 1875 has exactly the same results listed as 1873. I don't know much about French politics, but I did see that

French presidential election, 1873 has a source (although a poor one),
this article is unsourced, and
Patrice de Mac-Mahon, Duke of Magenta states that Mac-Mahon was chef d'état from 1873 to '75, then president, so this might be the source of confusion.

I'm not going to edit further as, again, I'm not familiar with the subject matter. QVVERTYVS (hm?) 18:51, 18 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
