Rutherford Hayes won all 20 disputed votes (Tilden only needed one for victory) for promising to end Reconstruction in the South.

Considering that Reconstruction was an unmitigated disaster, this was probably a good thing all around.

Tilden won by about 3% in the PV, fwiw.

Every election between 1876-1896 was not decided by more than 3% in PV.  Three of them were below 1% in difference.
