[edit]Notes
[edit]- ^ The 1881 Blue Book gives the totals as Garfield 144,398; Hancock 114,644; Weaver 7,986; Phelps 91; Dow 68; and no Scattering. These totals are not incorrect per se; an elector on each ticket received that number of votes, but in the case of Garfield, Hancock, and Phelps, they are not the totals for the highest elector on each ticket. The 1881 Blue Book does not give the results for all electors.
- ^ The Secretary of State's report gives Britton's total as 91 as with the other Anti-Masonic electors, but the original report of the Board of Canvassers gives Britton 87. The difference is the Board of Canvassers report gives Britton 26 votes in Walworth County as opposed to the 30 received by the other electors on that ticket.
