Hayes Victory in Florida Stall Sparks Commission Vote
The Electoral Commission, by nine to seven, bars evidence on Florida’s vote beyond certificates and Senate papers, except for Humphries eligibility. Only Judge Bradley split with party lines, voting with Republicans on the first point and with Democrats on the second. Congress paused as Republicans cheered and Democrats grew discouraged. Humphries, a former shipping commissioner, had resigned before the election.
