Chauncey Fitch Cleveland Democratic
Roger Sherman Baldwin Whig
The 1844 Connecticut gubernatorial election was held on April 1, 1844.[1][2] Former state legislator, Amistad lawyer and Whig nominee Roger Sherman Baldwin was elected, defeating incumbent governor and Democratic nominee Chauncey Fitch Cleveland with 49.41% of the vote.
Although Baldwin won a plurality of the vote, he fell short of a majority. The state constitution at the time required that in such a case, the Connecticut General Assembly decides the election. The state legislature voted for Baldwin, 116 to 93, and Baldwin became the governor.[3]
