25. Electoral College
U.S. Electoral College

26. Several elections have tested the Electoral College system. 
The first contested election was that of 1800 when both Thomas Jefferson and his running mate, Aaron Burr, received 73 electoral votes, throwing the election into the House of Representatives.  (After 36 ballots, the House chose Jefferson.)  The consequence of the 1800 election was the 12th Amendment, providing that electors vote separately for president and vice-president. 
The 1824 election saw a four-way split of electoral votes, with the House eventually choosing John Quincy Adams as president even though Andrew Jackson had received more electoral votes. 
The 1876 election was a true mess, with disputes over which slates of electors had won in four different states.  The final determination as to which slates of electors had in fact been elected was made on an 8-7 vote by a congressional commission.  The commission's decision gave Rutherford Hayes 185 electoral votes and the presidency.   The winner of the popular vote, Samuel Tilden, finished with 184 electoral votes. (One cost of the 1876 election was the end of Reconstruction: to win Democrats' acceptance of the commission's decision, Republicans agreed to withdraw troops from the South, effectively trading the presidency for the disenfranchisement of blacks.)
In 1888, Republican Benjamin Harrison lost the popular vote to Grover Cleveland, but won narrowly in the Electoral College.  Then, in 2000, trouble brewed again when electoral victory hinged upon a terribly close and challenged fight for Florida's 25 electoral votes.
