Tilden carried New York State with 51.40% of the vote to Hayes's 48.17%, a victory margin of 3.23%.
New York weighed in for this election as less than 1% more Democratic than the national average.
While Tilden won his home state's 35 electoral votes, he ultimately narrowly lost his quest for the presidency in the electoral college by just one electoral vote, amidst heavily disputed election results, despite winning a majority of the nationwide popular vote by a 51–48 margin.
This would be the final time New York would vote for a losing presidential candidate until it voted for Charles Evans Hughes over Woodrow Wilson in 1916. This would also be the last time the state voted for a losing Democratic presidential candidate until it voted for Hubert Humphrey over Richard Nixon in 1968.
