Harlan helped deliver key votes to [[Rutherford B. Hayes]] at the nominating convention in 1876, and Hayes remembered that in nominating Harlan to a seat on the Supreme Court vacated by the surprising resignation of Justice [[David Davis]], which was apparently so Davis could avoid serving on the Electoral Commission deciding the outcome of the 1876 election.
