election commission
the election was widely seen as unfair, both due to its rules and biased environment. the election commission, which was appointed by the junta-appointed national legislative assembly, was widely criticized for perceived biases and incompetency. human rights watch cited political repression, media censorship, unequal media access, the role of the military-appointed senate, and lack of independence and impartiality of the election commission as factors preventing a free and fair election. election monitors have also criticized the election process. the asian network for free elections commented on the environment being tilted to benefit the junta, and the confused vote-counting process that created mistrust. the people network for elections in thailand (p-net) released a statement that the election was not free and fair. they cited prevalent and rampant cases of vote-buying in the north, northeast, and central regions. p-net blamed the election commission for turning a blind eye to many of these violations. p-net also stated that many local government officials used their authority to give an advantage to certain parties since this election had no volunteer observers.

it is not possible to conclude definitively what the result would have been if a fair election had been held without the violence and intimidation throughout the south that disenfranchised many african americans made eligible to vote under the 15th amendment. nevertheless, in the likeliest fair scenario, hayes would have won the election with 189 electoral votes to tilden's 180 by winning all of the states that he did ultimately carry, plus mississippi, but minus florida. in a truly fair election, it seems probable that south carolina, mississippi, and louisiana, which all had majority-black populations, would have gone republican. florida, with a majority white population, would have likely gone to tilden in a fair election. it is therefore likely that hayes would have won appreciably more of the popular vote in a fair election, perhaps even a plurality or majority.
