The1832 United States presidential election in Ohio took place between November 2 and December 5, 1832, as part of the1832 United States presidential election. Voters chose 21 representatives, or electors to theElectoral College, who voted forPresident andVice President.
Andrew Jackson was the incumbent president running for re-election on theDemocratic ticket. Following the result of the1828 election, theAdams Party split into competing factions. TheAnti-Masonic Party drew support fromNew Englanders in theWestern Reserve, while theNational Republicans dominated the Anti-Jacksonian opposition in the rest of the state. The Anti-Masons were the first to hold a national convention and nominated formerUnited States Attorney GeneralWilliam Wirt for president. They hoped the selection of Wirt, who had served in theJohn Quincy Adams Administration, could unite all Anti-Jacksonians under a single banner, but the National Republican convention spurned the Anti-Masons and nominated their own candidate,SenatorHenry Clay ofKentucky. Fearing a split in the opposition vote could throw the election to Jackson, opposition leaders in Ohio agreed to support afusion ticket of electors jointly nominated by the two parties who were pledged to vote for whichever candidate stood the best chance to defeat Jackson. While the plan succeeded in nearly uniting Ohio's Anti-Jacksonians, Jackson carried Ohio by a margin of 3 percent.[1] This would be the last time a Democrat carried a majority of the vote in Ohio until 1916.
