∙ 14y agoIn the US Presidential election of 1864, incumbent President Abraham Lincoln was not nominated for re-election by the Republican Party, which instead chose John C. Frémont. Republican supporters of Lincoln formed the National Union Party, and Lincoln won the election after Fremont withdrew. The Democratic Party had nominated George B. McClellan, a former Union General who had been replaced by Lincoln during the war.
The Union party included Democrats as well as Republicans, so that Lincoln's choice for Vice President (replacing Hannibal Hamlin) was Andrew Johnson, a Democratic senator from Tennessee.

However, in late November of 1872, a few weeks after the public voting and a few weeks before the electoral votes were cast, Horace Greeley died. As a result the Democratic electors ended up casting their presidential votes for five different Democrats, including three votes for Greeley that were thrown out. Pres. Grant would have been the clear winner either way.
