The Whig Party, which had only recently emerged and was primarily united by opposition to Jackson, was not yet sufficiently organized to agree on a single candidate. Hoping to compel a <a href="/wiki/Contingent_election" title="Contingent election">contingent election</a> in the <a href="/wiki/United_States_House_of_Representatives" title="United States House of Representatives">House of Representatives</a> by denying the Democrats an electoral majority, the Whigs ran multiple candidates. Most Northern and border state Whigs supported the ticket led by former Senator <a href="/wiki/William_Henry_Harrison" title="William Henry Harrison">William Henry Harrison</a> of Ohio, while most Southern Whigs supported the ticket led by Senator <a href="/wiki/Hugh_Lawson_White" title="Hugh Lawson White">Hugh Lawson White</a> of Tennessee. Two other Whigs, <a href="/wiki/Daniel_Webster" title="Daniel Webster">Daniel Webster</a> and <a href="/wiki/Willie_Person_Mangum" class="mw-redirect" title="Willie Person Mangum">Willie Person Mangum</a>, carried Massachusetts and South Carolina respectively on single-state tickets. </p><p>Despite facing multiple candidates, Van Buren won a majority of the electoral vote, and he won a majority of the popular vote in both the North and the South. Nonetheless, the Whig strategy came very close to success, as Van Buren won the decisive state of Pennsylvania by just over two points. As Virginia's electors voted for Van Buren but refused to vote for Johnson, Johnson fell one vote short of an electoral majority, compelling a contingent election for vice president. In that contingent election, the <a href="/wiki/United_States_Senate" title="United States Senate">United States Senate</a> elected Johnson over Harrison's running mate, <a href="/wiki/Francis_Granger" title="Francis Granger">Francis Granger</a>. </p><p>Van Buren was the third incumbent vice president to win election as president, an event which would not happen again until <a href="/wiki/1988_United_States_presidential_election" title="1988 United States presidential election">1988</a>, when <a href="/wiki/George_H._W._Bush" title="George H.

Southern Nullifiers placed Tennessee Senator <a href="/wiki/Hugh_Lawson_White" title="Hugh Lawson White">Hugh Lawson White</a> into contention for the presidency in 1834 soon after his break with Jackson. White was a moderate on the <a href="/wiki/States%27_rights" title="States' rights">states' rights</a> issue, which made him acceptable in the South, but not in the North. The state legislatures of Alabama and Tennessee officially nominated White. The South Carolina state legislature nominated Senator <a href="/wiki/Willie_Person_Mangum" class="mw-redirect" title="Willie Person Mangum">Willie Person Mangum</a> of North Carolina. By early 1835, Massachusetts Senator <a href="/wiki/Daniel_Webster" title="Daniel Webster">Daniel Webster</a> was building support among Northern Whigs. Both Webster and White used Senate debates to establish their positions on the issues of the day, as newspapers carried the text of their speeches nationwide.

In Maryland, it was Harrison and Tyler.

Michigan only became a state on January 26, 1837, and had cast its electoral votes for president before that date. Anticipating a challenge to the results, Congress resolved on February 4, 1837, that during the counting four days later the final tally would be read twice, once with Michigan and once without Michigan. The counting proceeded in accordance with the resolution. The dispute had no bearing on the final result: either way, Van Buren was elected, and either way no candidate had a majority for vice-president.<sup id="cite_ref-6" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Results">Results</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=1836_United_States_presidential_election&action=edit&section=9" title="Edit section: Results"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>22.4% of the voting age population and 56.5% of eligible voters participated in the election.<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEAbramsonAldrichRohde199599_7-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEAbramsonAldrichRohde199599-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The Whigs' strategy narrowly failed to prevent Van Buren's victory in the Electoral College, though he earned a somewhat lower share of the popular vote and fewer electoral votes than Andrew Jackson had in either of the previous two elections. The key state in this election was ultimately Pennsylvania, which Van Buren won from Harrison with a narrow majority of just 4,222 votes or 2.4%. Had Harrison won the state, Van Buren would have been left eight votes short of an Electoral College majority - despite receiving a majority (50.48%) in the popular vote - and the Whig goal to force the election into the House of Representatives (per the <a href="/wiki/Twelfth_Amendment_to_the_United_States_Constitution" title="Twelfth Amendment to the United States Constitution">Twelfth Amendment to the United States Constitution</a>) would have succeeded. Thus, the 11.8% difference between the margin in the tipping point state of Pennsylvania and the margin in the national popular vote, is the largest gap in American history. </p><p>In a contingent election, the House would have been required to choose between Van Buren, Harrison, and White as the three candidates with the most electoral votes. Jacksonians controlled enough state delegations (14 out of 26) and enough Senate seats (31 out of 52) to win both the presidency and the vice presidency in a contingent election. </p><p>This was the last election in which the Democrats won Connecticut, Rhode Island, and North Carolina until 1852. This was also the only election where South Carolina voted for the Whigs, and the last time it voted against the Democrats until 1868. It was also the last time that a Democrat was elected to the U.S. presidency succeeding a Democrat who had served two terms as U.S. president.<sup id="cite_ref-8" class="reference"><a
