1832 U.S. Presidential Election

[FEMA Camp Administrator]

With Henry Clay's Presidency going on its eighth year, the President shall nonetheless run for a third term, the third President to do so, following Thomas Jefferson and DeWitt Clinton. Again he is challenged by the weak yet rising Democratic party, headed by Andrew Jackson. As well, a third party emerges, in fear of both candidates' associations with the Free Masons. The Anti-Masonic ticket, headed by former Attorney General William Wirt, could pose a threat to both parties.

Bumping. Only a couple more hours until the poll closes.

1832
The call for states' rights and an end to the national bank once again fell flat on the voters' ears, even being ignored in favor of another party's rallying cries against the masons. Jackson, bitter after an even larger defeat than four years ago, vowed to quit politics, leaving the running of the new Democratic party in the hands of his successor, Martin Van Buren. Meanwhile, the National Republicans were riding high, winning another land-slide election in a row.

President Henry Clay (National Republican-Kentucky)/Former Congressman John Sergeant (National Republican-Pennsylvania) 192 electoral votes, 55.2% of the popular vote
Former U.S. Attorney General William Wirt (Anti-Masonic-Maryland)/Former Judge Amos Ellmaker (Anti-Masonic-Pennsylvania) 59 electoral votes, 24.1% of the popular vote
Former Senator Andrew Jackson (Democrat-Tennessee)/Former Governor Martin Van Buren (Democrat-New York) 37 electoral votes, 20.7% of the popular vote
