1852 Maine gubernatorial election
Maine gubernatorial election / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 1852 Maine gubernatorial election was held on 13 September 1852 in order to elect the Governor of Maine. Whig nominee William G. Crosby defeated incumbent Democratic Governor John Hubbard, Anti-Maine Law nominee Anson G. Chandler and Free Soil Party nominee and former member of the Maine Senate Ezekiel Holmes. However, as no candidate received a majority of the total votes cast as was required by Maine law, the election was forwarded to the Maine legislature, who chose Crosby as governor, despite the fact he only came in second in the popular vote.[1]
