November 4, 1856
Due to a greater effort at campaigning (from his front porch, of course) and choosing Speaker Nathaniel P. Banks as his vice-presidential nominee in order to appease more of the Know-Nothing crowd, Republican Party nominee John C. Frémont is able to win the Election of 1856 on that fateful November day: Fmr. Senator John C. Frémont (R–CA) / Speaker Nathaniel P. Banks (R–MA) – 172 EVs – 1,670,515 – 41.2% Minister to Great Britain James Buchanan (D–PA) / Fmr. Representative John C. Breckinridge (D–KY) – 116 EVs – 1,759,717 – 43.4% Fmr. President Millard Fillmore (A–NY) / Andrew Jackson Donelson (A–TN) – 8 EVs – 624,415 – 15.4%
