Republican Party candidate Rutherford B. Hayes won Wisconsin with 50.57% of the popular vote, winning the state's ten electoral votes.[1] Samuel J. Tilden's share of 48.19% was the largest for a Democrat in Wisconsin since Franklin Pierce won the state in 1852 and would remain so until Franklin D. Roosevelt's landslide victory in 1932.[a]

Participating in its first election after its establishment in 1875, Taylor County voted for Tilden; this would be the only time until 1944 that Taylor County would not vote for the statewide winner.
