Virginia voted for the Democratic candidate, Major General Winfield S. Hancock over the Republican candidate, U.S. Representative James A. Garfield. Hancock won Virginia comfortably by a margin of 21.05 percent. This is the last occasion the Democratic Party has carried Floyd County,[1] which along with neighbouring Carroll County were to be strong GOP counties in a Democrat-dominated state during the next 7 decades.
While Hancock won the state, a split in the Democratic Party in Virginia over the payment of state debts led to 2 Democratic electoral slates being nominated, 1 by the regular debt-paying "Funder" Democrats, the other by the "Readjuster" or anti-debt paying faction of the party.[2] Both slates were pledged to the Hancock ticket. The Readjuster ticket received 31,527 votes, but the Funder Democrats took 96,449 votes, enough to defeat the Republicans, whose slate had 84,020.[3]
