What was problematic about the 1876 presidential election? One of Grant’s staff members ran for president, even though he’d been accused of taking bribes. Tilden won the popular vote, Hayes narrowly won the electoral vote, and votes in four states were disputed. The Republican Party was divided between Grant’s followers and the Liberal Republicans. Hayes won the popular vote, Tilden narrowly won the electoral vote, and Florida’s voting results were disputed.
