The 1876 United States presidential election in Wisconsin was held on November 7, 1876, as part of the 1876 United States presidential election. State voters chose ten electors to the Electoral College, who voted for president and vice president.
Republican Party candidate Rutherford B. Hayes won Wisconsin with 50.57% of the popular vote, winning the state's ten electoral votes.http://uselectionatlas.org/RESULTS/state.php?year=1876&fips=55&off=0&elect=0&f=0 1876 Presidential General Election Results – Wisconsin August 18, 2016 Samuel J. Tilden's share of 48.19% was the largest for a Democrat in Wisconsin since Franklin Pierce won the state in 1852 and would remain so until Franklin D. Roosevelt's landslide victory in 1932.While both Grover Cleveland in 1892 and Woodrow Wilson in 1912 won Wisconsin, they did so with pluralities less than the share received by Tilden in 1876.
Participating in its first election after its establishment in 1875, Taylor County voted for Tilden; this would be the only time until 1944 that Taylor County would not vote for the statewide winner.
