The 1832 United States presidential election in Georgia took place on November 5, 1832, as part of the 1832 United States presidential election. Voters chose 11 representatives, or electors to the Electoral College, who voted for President and Vice President.
There were two Andrew Jackson tickets in Georgia representing the two different local parties. The Troup party won with 13,881 votes, beating the Union party (formally Clark party) which got 7,367 votes. No other candidate for election was nominated by any of the factions and all received zero votes. Many sources have combined the vote when reporting the Georgia results, but this is legally incorrect.
The Troup party ran Jackson with Martin Van Buren, his official running mate. The Union party ran Jackson with Barbour as veteran members of the Clark party had never forgiven Van Buren for serving as William Crawford's campaign manager in the 1824 presidential election. Troup papers also weren't enthusastic about Van Buren but feared that splitting the vote could lead to John Sergeant becoming vice president.
