At nearly four in the morning on March 2, 1877, Congress finally announced the winner of a presidential election held 115 days earlier.

Rutherford B. Hayes defeated Samuel J. Tilden by a single electoral vote - after disputed returns, rival certificates, partisan returning boards, an unprecedented Electoral Commission, and private political assurances that helped bring Reconstruction to an end.
