The1892 United States presidential election in Ohio was held on November 8, 1892. State voters chose 23 electors to theElectoral College, who voted forpresident andvice president.
Ohio was narrowly won by theRepublican Party candidate, incumbent PresidentBenjamin Harrison, with 47.66% of the popular vote. TheDemocratic Party candidate, former PresidentGrover Cleveland, garnered 47.53% of the popular vote. Because the vote was so close and voters voted for individual electors, the twenty-third Harrison elector received fewer votes than one Cleveland elector, who was thus elected.[1]
This was the last time until2020 that an incumbent president won the state while losing re-election nationally, and the last election until1944 that the state would vote for a losing candidate.
