NWI4958326: Counting of contested electoral votes in 1876 in the presidential elections Tilden-Hayes, February 1877. The American presidential election of 1876 saw the election, with a vote of great elector, of the Republican Rutherford Hayes against the democrat Samuel Tilden, who had obtained an absolute majority of the votes of the citizens.
