The article suggest Garfield won by less than 2,000 votes, but the map says it was more like 9,000.... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.19.101.114 ( talk) 06:51, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
Explain the little bit of blue at the bottom of California, please.

Why is the graphic depiction of electoral votes skewed? Rarely nowadays does one see democratic votes colored red and and republican votes blue. -- maru (talk) Contribs 20:51, 15 January 2006 (UTC)
What is the source for Georgia not voting until 11/8/1880? The New York Times ran an article on 11/6/1880 with this headline: "GEORGIA'S BOURBON SOLIDITY.; THE DEMOCRATS GIVE HANCOCK ABOUT 35,000, BUT ARE BADLY SHAKEN UP." Chronicler3 02:57, 25 February 2006 (UTC)
Response. Interesting. In 1856, the Electors in Wisconsin were not able to meet on the appointed date due to a heavy snow, and they did not meet until the next day. The National Archives page does not mention the 1856 incident but mentions a similar incident in 1880. Chronicler3 22:41, 25 February 2006 (UTC)
Hancock was not ridiculed as disloyal. In fact, the Republicans tended to avoid direct attacks on the general, focusing instead on his cronies.-- Idols of Mud 21:21, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
The anti-masonic movement of the late nineteenth century re-entered politics before 1880. The first national convention of this second wave of Anti-Masons assembled in the Second Congregational Church building in Oberlin OH in 5/22-23/1872 and nominated Charles F. Adams for President. He declined to run, and no replacement nominee was chosen. In 1876, the party held its second national convention in Liberty Hall, Pittsburgh, from 6/8-10/1876, where they nominated James B. Walker for President. Walker received 459 votes in the election. Phelps was nominated in 1880, but I have not been seen any information on where the national convention was held. The 1884 ticket of the party dropped out of the race, and the 1888 ticket was the last one offered by the party. Sources: James T. Havel, US Presidential Candidates and the Elections; Ohio Elects the President; CQ's Presidential Elections Since 1789. Chronicler3 16:14, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
There is an error regarding the second paragraph in this section. "Notably, Garfield won the presidency without California. No presidential candidate managed to reproduce this feat until Woodrow Wilson's victory in the 1912 election and no Republican presidential candidate managed to reproduce this feat until George W. Bush's victory in the 2000 election."
Either this is untrue or the map for the 1884 election (seen at the top of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_presidential_election,_1884) is. As California is clearly shown as being won by the losing candidate, James G. Blaine, and not the winning, Grover Cleveland.

Not sure why someone is removing the results-by-state table. Such a sortable table of results-by-state is found on every single MAIN presidential article up to and including 2012. Putting it in the sub-article further analyzing the results too is fine, but it most certainly belongs in the main article. Those who look up the 1880 election should be able to see which candidate won what state with what percentage by what margin just as they can for every other election. Or sort the table by my most and least Democratic or Republican based on margin or percentage. That's why these tables are found on every main presidential election article. Going into further elaboration about WHY the results turned out the way they did is fine for the sub-article. Inqvisitor ( talk) 09:37, 9 July 2015 (UTC)

According to the county map of the 1880 election, a candidate with the last name of Readjuster won several counties in Virginia. Who on Earth is Readjuster? Also, according to both this article and the 1880 election in Virginia article, the popular votes were split 60.53% for Hancock and 39.47% for Garfield. Is this a mistake? Where those counties marked Readjuster really throwaway votes or are they suppose to go for either Hancock or Garfield? -- JCC the Alternate Historian ( talk) 21:10, 19 September 2018 (UTC)
@ Tkbrett: MOS:FRAC says "Mixed numbers are usually given in figures"; there is no need to spell out the numbers. Also, spelled-out numbers often constitute an invitation for editors to add completely useless and distracting hyphens, as in this case. From any perspective, "two-and-a-half months" is wrong.
