Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Ticket splitting, or voting for candidates from different political parties in the same election, was not a common practice in the nineteenth century. Political parties were more aligned with specific ideologies and voters tended to support the party as a whole. Ticket splitting became more common in the twentieth century as parties became less ideologically distinct and voters began to prioritize individual candidates over party affiliation.
