Notes

  1. James B. Weaver, 1892.
  2. For purposes of these lists, other national candidates are defined as those who won at least one electoral vote, or won at least ten percent of the vote in multiple states.
  3. Won the electoral college while losing the popular vote
  4. Was allied with a slate of unpledged electors in Louisiana, Mississippi and South Carolina
  5. Colorado was admitted to the union as the 38th state on August 1, 1876. With insufficient time or money to organize a presidential election in the new state, Colorado's state legislature selected the state’s electors. These electors in turn gave their three votes to Hayes and the Republican Party. This was the last election in which any state chose electors through its state legislature.
