    The answer is: e) was tainted by claims of fraud in Florida, South Carolina, and Louisiana.

    Explanation:

    In 1876 Samuel J. Tilden, a Democrat, achieved 50.9% of the popular vote. His Republican opponent, Rutherford B. Hayes, won 47.9%. Yet in an election still closely studied for its many instances of outright fraud, Hayes became the 19th President of the United States.

    It became one of the most controversial in American history, because of allegations of electoral fraud
