What happened in the 1876 election?

The election of 1876 was a significant and contentious event in American history. The election between Rutherford B. Hayes and Samuel J. Tilden was marked by severe voting irregularities and disputed results in several states, leading to one of the most controversial presidential elections ever. Ultimately, an Electoral Commission was created to resolve the dispute, resulting in a decision that awarded Hayes the presidency by a single electoral vote. This decision also led to the Compromise of 1877, which effectively ended the Reconstruction era.
