Indiana voted for the Democratic candidate, Lewis Cass, over Whig candidate Zachary Taylor and Free Soil candidate Martin Van Buren. Cass won Indiana by a narrow margin of 3.16%.
This is one of just two times (the other being the extremely disputed and very narrow election of 1876) that a losing Democratic candidate carried Indiana, and the only time that a Democrat who lost the popular vote carried the state.
