Notes: The vote of Georgia was not cast until
December 8, the second Wednesday of December. If they had not been counted,
Winfield S. Hancock would only have received 144 votes.
James Weaver of the Greenback Party received 305,997
popular votes (3.3%).
James Garfield was shot July
2, 1881 and died September 19,
1881. He was succeeded by Chester A. Arthur.
Other sources cite Garfield as having received 4,453,295 votes to Hancock's 4,414,082, with Greenback Labor candidate James
Weaver receiving 308,578 popular votes and Prohibition candidate Neal Dow receiving
10,305. Several other sources give somewhat different totals; for example, one shows: Garfield 4,446,158; Hancock 4,444,260;
Weaver 305,997; Dow 9,674; others 4,331. It appears that there are as many variants as sources consulted.
