1780 Connecticut gubernatorial election
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 1780 Connecticut gubernatorial election was held on 13 April 1780 in order to elect the Governor of Connecticut. Incumbent Nonpartisan Governor Jonathan Trumbull won a plurality of the vote in his re-election bid against other candidates. However, as no candidate received a majority of the total votes cast as was required by Connecticut law, the election was forwarded to the Connecticut legislature, who chose Trumbull as governor.[1]
