United States House of Representatives elections, 1876

The U.S. House election, 1876 was an election for the United States House of Representatives in 1876 which coincided with the (heavily contested) election of President Rutherford B. Hayes.

Hayes' Republican Party was able to recover from the Democratic Party many of the seats it had lost two years before as the economy improve slightly. However, the Democrats retained a majority and were able to use the disinterest of the people in Republican Reconstruction-led projects to help keep crucial seats.
