Millard Fillmore Whig Franklin Pierce Democratic The 1852 United States presidential election in Massachusetts took place on November 2, 1852, as part of the 1852 United States presidential election.
[2] Daniel Webster died 9 days before the election of a cerebral hemorrhage on October 24, 1852.
This caused many Union and Native American state parties to remove him and his running mate Charles Jones Jenkins from their slates of electors and was replaced by Jacob Broom and Reynell Coates.
The Webster-Jenkins Union ticket, however, remained on the ballot in both Massachusetts and Georgia.
As of 2020, this election marks only the first of three times (after 1972 and 1980) that Massachusetts has not voted for the same candidate as neighboring Rhode Island.
