Nineteenth-century presidential elections used a form of block voting that allowed voters to modify the electoral list nominated by a political party before submitting their ballots. Because voters elected each member of the Electoral College individually, electors nominated by the same party often received differing numbers of votes as a consequence of voter rolloff, split-ticket voting, or electoral fusion.Petersen 1963 vii–ix This table reflects the statewide popular vote as calculated by Walter Dean Burnham in his influential study, Presidential Ballots, 1836–1892.Burnham 1955 249 Svend Petersen finds six more votes for Garfield, one fewer for Hancock, and 80 fewer for Weaver in Indiana.Petersen 1963 49 1880 United States presidential election in Indiana Republican Party (United States) James A.
