The election was close enough to require a vote in the House of Representatives.  The debates were long, but when Hayes promised to remove the military occupation in the South he won the votes that gave him the office.  The Democrats labeled his term "His Fraudulency."

The states whose votes gave Hayes an electoral majority (Florida, Louisiana, South Carolina, and one vote in Oregon) were disputed.  Since a failure to achieve a majority would send the contest to the House of Representatives, that body formed an commission to resolve the disputes.  Hayes promised to remove the military occupation in the South, in exchange for the support of Representatives in accepting the contested electoral votes in his favor.  This was the first instance in which the electoral majority went to a candidate who did not receive the most popular votes.  (A similar crisis was settled in 1824 by a direct vote in the House.) The Democrats labeled his term "His Fraudulency".
