The1832 United States presidential election in Maryland took place between November 2 and December 5, 1832, as part of the1832 United States presidential election. Voters chose 10 representatives, or electors to theElectoral College, who voted forPresident andVice President.
WhileMaryland voted for theNational Republican candidate,Henry Clay, over theDemocratic Party candidate,Andrew Jackson, by a mere four votes, this is irrelevant because electors were not awarded based on the statewide vote. They were chosen in four district elections. A total of ten electoral votes were allocated, with five going to Clay and three to Jackson, while two electors failed to cast votes. In terms of raw votes cast, Clay's four-vote margin is the smallest between two major candidates in any state in any presidential election in United States history. This is the only time a Democrat won re-election without carrying the state's popular vote either time.
