Ohio in 1876

The 1876 contest saw Ohio line up behind Hayes, delivering 22 electoral votes to the Republican ticket. That placed Ohio with the eventual winner: Rutherford B. Hayes went on to take the presidency, and Ohio was part of his column.

Ohio stayed in the Republican column for the 6th straight cycle, extending a run that began in 1856. The region divided — Michigan and Pennsylvania joined Ohio for the Republican ticket, while Indiana, Kentucky, and West Virginia did not. Over its 56 recorded presidential cycles, Ohio has backed the Republican party more than any other — 30 times in all. The vote fell within the Gilded Age — Industrialization, narrow margins, and patronage politics.

Nationally, Rutherford B. Hayes finished with 185 of the 369 electoral votes to Samuel J. Tilden's 184. Though Rutherford B. Hayes won the Electoral College, Samuel J. Tilden drew more of the national popular vote — 50.92% to 47.92%.
