In the presidential elections of 1872 and 1884, Victoria Claflin Woodhull and Belva Ann Lockwood, respectively, were the Equal Rights party candidates. How many votes did each receive?

Lockwood ran twice for U.S. president as the National Equal Rights Party's candidate in 1884 and 1888. Still looking for the number of votes but it seems it was very small. Apr 24 02, 4:04 PM

In 1884, and again in 1888, Lockwood was the Presidential candidate for the National Equal Rights Party, capturing over 4,000 votes in six states. http://www.swarthmore.edu/Library/peace/DG051-099/DG098BLockwood.html Apr 24 02, 4:09 PM

Sorry for the triple entry Whether Woodhull received any significant portion of the electorate's votes or any votes at all is difficult to ascertain. Although Lockwood's presidential campaigns received far less publicity than Woodhull's, Lockwood received 4149 votes from the all-male electorate as a candidate on several state presidential primary ballots in the 1884 election. While she received less support in the 1888 election, Lockwood set the precedent for woman presidential candidates to get on state presidential primary election ballots and win votes.
