1786 Connecticut gubernatorial election
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 1786 Connecticut gubernatorial election was held on 13 April 1786 in order to elect the Governor of Connecticut. Incumbent Nonpartisan Lieutenant Governor Samuel Huntington won a plurality of the vote in his gubernatorial election bid against other candidates including incumbent Governor Matthew Griswold. However, as no candidate received a majority of the total votes cast as was required by Connecticut law, the election was forwarded to the Connecticut legislature, who chose Huntington as governor.[1]
