State voters chose 12 electors to the Electoral College, who voted for president and vice president. Former president Grover Cleveland, the Democratic Party candidate, won Wisconsin against sitting Republican president Benjamin Harrison with 47.75% of the popular vote, winning the state's twelve electoral votes.http://uselectionatlas.org/RESULTS/state.php?year=1892&fips=55&off=0&elect=0&f=0 1892 Presidential General Election Results – Wisconsin August 18, 2016 This was the closest presidential election in Wisconsin to that point, which distinction it held until it voted narrowly for Jimmy Carter over Gerald Ford in 1976. As a result of his win, Cleveland became the first Democratic presidential candidate since Franklin Pierce in 1852 to win Wisconsin. No Democrat would win Wisconsin again until Woodrow Wilson in 1912. This marked the first occasion in which Wisconsin voted for a different candidate than Iowa, a phenomenon that has only occurred five more times since — 1924, 1940, 1976, 2004, and 2020. Wisconsin is one of the three states that voted Republican in both 1884 and 1888 but flipped to Cleveland in 1892, the others being California and Illinois. Cleveland was the first Democrat ever to win Forest County, Green Lake County, Juneau County, Kenosha County, Marinette County, and Oconto County. He was also the first Democrat since Pierce in 1852 to carry La Crosse County, Portage County, and Winnebago County. Many of the counties that Cleveland won in this election would not vote Democratic again until Wilson carried them in 1912. However, Juneau County, Marinette County, Oconto County, and Oneida County would not vote for a Democrat again until Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1932. This was the first of only three elections in which Adams County has backed the statewide loser.The other two are 1912 and 2020. All three elections saw a Democrat winning the state but a Republican carrying Adams County. After this election, Portage County remained the only original county from statehood to have backed the winner in every election, a streak that would last until 1916. Results + General Election ResultsWisconsin Historical Society, Tabular Statement of the votes given for electors of President and Vice President of the United States at the general election held in the several towns, wards, villages, and election districts in the several counties of the State of Wisconsin on the Tuesday next succeeding the first Monday being the 8th day of November A.D. 1892The 1893 Blue Book gives the totals as Cleveland 177,325; Harrison 171,101; Bidwell 13,136; Weaver 10,019; and no Scattering. Based on the Board of Canvassers report, these totals are simply incorrect; no elector on any ticket received those numbers of votes. Indeed, the Blue Book is an unreliable source for Wisconsin election data from about 1890 to 1920 and its figures frequently differ from the figures listed in the Board of Canvassers reports.Party Pledged to Elector Votes Democratic Party Grover Cleveland Gustav Wollaeger177,335 Democratic Party Grover Cleveland Robert J.
