U.S. presidential election, 1856 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The U.S. presidential election of 1856 was waged almost entirely on the issue of slavery, pitted as a struggle between democracy and aristocracy, and focusing specifically on Kansas. Foreshadowing the results of the presidential election of 1860 (won by Abraham Lincoln), Frémont received less than 600 votes from slave states- those all coming from Delaware and Maryland. The newly formed Republican Party condemned the Kansas-Nebraska Act and expansion of slavery, while Democrats took more of a laissez-faire approach to slavery expansion, taking the official position that it was a state-by-state decision. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/U.S._presidential_election,_1856   (355 words)

Presidential Election Law - Don't Litigate - Negotiate! In 1876, the outcome of the election between Republican Rutherford B. Hayes and Democrat Samuel Tilden was in doubt for months as the result of the submission of double slates of electors in four states. The very first seriously contested presidential election, in 1800, was thrown into the House of Representatives after an Electoral College tie between Thomas Jefferson and Aaron Burr that resulted from a double-balloting anomaly in the Constitution. In six other elections (1828, 1840, 1844, 1848, 1864, and 1868), the shift of a small number of votes in a few states — fewer than 20,000 in the first four -- would have resulted in the election of the other candidate. jurist.law.pitt.edu /election/electionross3.htm   (2512 words)
