The1868 United States presidential election in Florida took place on November 3, 1868, as part of the1868 United States presidential election. Thestate legislature chose three representatives, or electors to theElectoral College, who voted forpresident andvice president. The vote in the legislature was 40 Republicans to 9 Democrats.[1]
Florida voted for theRepublican nominee,Ulysses S. Grant.
As a result of the status ofReconstruction, the state's three electoral votes were allocated by the State Legislature to Grant. This was the only time in the state's history that the popular vote did not decide the election in the state,[2] as well as one of only two times nationally after theAmerican Civil War (along withColorado in 1876).
