November 1876 CE

The Louisiana Democrats, their claims are intertwined with the choice of presidential electors for this year in the Hayes-Tilden dispute, claim that General Francis T. Nicholls is the winner in the gubernatorial contest in 1876, but the Republicans claim that S. B. Packard has won.

The Republicans manipulate the state returning board and send two sets of election returns to Congress, and the Democrats send their returns.
