Additional Details

A broadside from a crucial battleground state in a close election. The Whig presidential candidate Zachary Taylor took the Pennsylvania electors with just 50.26% of the popular vote. If those 26 electors had gone to the Democrat Lewis Cass, Taylor would have lost the election. Provenance: Winter Associates to Milton R. Slater, 1984.
