U.S. presidential election, 1832
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
This was also the first national election for "The Magician," Vice President-elect Martin Van Buren of New York, who was put on the Democratic ticket to succeed John Caldwell Calhoun and four years later would succeed Jackson. Van Buren faced opposition for the Vice Presidency within his own party however, and as a result 30 electors cast ballots for Pennsylvania's William Wilkins, in hopes of throwing the Vice Presidential election into the Senate.
