Pennsylvania voted for the Democratic candidate, Martin Van Buren, over the Whig candidate, William Henry Harrison. Van Buren won Pennsylvania by a narrow margin of 2.36%. The result would ultimately prove decisive in Van Buren's victory; had Harrison won the state, then Van Buren would not have achieved a majority in the Electoral College, meaning that the election would have been decided in the House of Representatives.
