1807 Ohio gubernatorial election
Ohio gubernatorial election / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 1807 Ohio gubernatorial election was held on 13 October 1807, in order to elect the Governor of Ohio. Democratic-Republican candidate and former Chief Justice of the Ohio Supreme Court Return J. Meigs Jr. initially won the election against fellow Democratic-Republican candidates Nathaniel Massie and Thomas Worthington. However, it was determined by the Ohio State Legislature that Meigs did not meet the residency requirements in order to take office as Governor of Ohio. The Ohio State Legislature thereby declared Massie the winner of the election, but he refused to accept the position of Governor. Therefor incumbent Democratic-Republican Acting Governor Thomas Kirker remained Governor until the next election.[1]
