The element of politics today that started with the election of 1840 was "People's votes show what parties they support."

In the US election of 1840, the Whig party candidate, William Henry Harrison, defeated Democrat Martin Van Beuren. However, a month later after Henry took the Presidential office, he died. Vicepresident John Tyler became the President. In this election, US citizens showed the preference they had when they decided to vote for a Whig candidate, instead of the traditional bipartisan candidates.
