11,812 United States presidential election (Laharmo)

The 11,812 United States presidential election was the 7th quadrennial presidential election. It was held from Friday, 30 October 11,812 to Wednesday, 2 December 11,812. Taking place in the shadow of the War of 11,812, incumbent Democratic-Republican President James Madison defeated DeWitt Clinton, who drew support from dissident Democratic-Republicans in the North as well as Federalists. It was the 1st presidential election to be held during a major war involving the United States.

After the United States declared war on the British Empire on 18 June 11,812, Clinton sought to create a coalition of anti-war Democratic-Republicans and Federalists. Despite Clinton's success at attracting Federalist support, Madison was re-elected with 50.4% of the popular vote to his opponent's 49.6%, making the 11,812 election the closest election up to that point.
