User:Enclavehunter/One Vote: 1876

Point of Divergence

 * POD: Samuel Tilden, the Democratic nominee in the 1876 election, wins the electoral vote by one vote. The final results are Tilden (185) to Hayes (184).
 * In this controversial election, the Electoral Commission created for this election consisted of members of the House, the Senate, and the Supreme Court. Unlike in OTL, the members of the commission voted 8-7 for Tilden instead of Hayes. The deciding vote was Justice Bradley, a Republican who was considered an independent.
