In the 1800 presidential election, Thomas Jefferson and Aaron Burr tied for first place, throwing the election into the House of Representatives for a tie-breaking vote. However, after 35 votes over six days they were still tied! Who finally became President? Thomas Jefferson. Here's how: each voter voted for two presidential candidates on the same ballot. The candidate receiving a majority became President, and the runner-up became Vice President.

In the 1872 presidential election, candidate Horace Greeley died between Election Day and the meeting of the Electors. Who finally became President? Ulysses S. Grant. Three Electors loyally tried to vote for Greeley, but Congress refused to count votes for the dead man. An interesting historical footnote in this election: Susan B. Anthony was arrested in Rochester, NY in 1872 for casting an illegal vote in this election. She was arrested and fined $100, which she refused to pay. The 19th Amendment giving women the legal right to vote was not ratified until 1920, 14 years after her death.

In the 1888 presidential election, Grover Cleveland won the popular vote, but lost the subsequent Electoral College vote. Who finally became President? Benjamin Harrison. However, Cleveland won back the Presidency four years later, making him the only President to serve non-sequential terms. He was President from 1885-1889 and from 1893-1897.

In the 1968 presidential election there were three major contenders: Richard Nixon, Hubert Humphrey, and George Wallace. Nixon and Humphrey tied with 43 percent of the direct vote and Wallace had 13.5 percent. Who finally became President? The Presidency went to Nixon with no feud because he won the majority of the electoral votes. The American public was really upset with this election and The American Institute of Public Opinion asked voters before and after that election if they would support a Constitutional amendment eliminating the Electoral College and replacing it with the direct-vote system. Before the election 60% said to do away with the College. After the election that total raised to 81%. However, the system was never changed.
