Ohio was narrowly won by the Republican Party candidate and native son, Rutherford B. Hayes , with 50.21% of the popular vote. The Democratic Party candidate, Samuel J. Tilden , garnered 49.07% of the popular vote.[ 1] This marks the weakest performance in Ohio for any victorious Republican candidate, seeing as no Republican has won the White House without carrying Ohio.
