A presidential election was held in New York on November 5, 1844 as part of the 1844 United States presidential election.[2] Voters chose 36 representatives, or electors to the Electoral College, who voted for President and Vice President.
New York voted for the Democratic candidate, James K. Polk, over Whig candidate Henry Clay. Polk won New York by a narrow margin of 1.05%. New York was decisive; if Clay had won the state, he would have received 141 electoral votes, more than the 138 needed to win at the time. Fulton and Cayuga would not vote Democratic again until 1964.
