As of 2024, this is the only presidential election in which the Republican nominee won without carrying Indiana. This was the second and most recent election (along with 1848) when the state voted for a losing Democrat. Summary Indiana chose 15 electors in a statewide general election. 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 ten more votes for Tilden and 1,140 more for Hayes.Petersen 1963 46 1876 United States presidential election in IndianaBurnham 1955 249 Democratic Party (United States) Samuel J.
