The election of 1800 is when Thomas Jefferson was elected as president, marking the shift in power from the Federalist Party to the Republican Party. It is important to note that this was a PEACEFUL transfer of power, and that Federalist policies and ideas still lived on for years.
In 1804, the Constitution was amended by the 12th Amendment which called for electors to the Electoral College to specify which ballot was being cast for the office of president and which was being cast for the office of vice president. The old way of runner up becoming the vice president ended.
The electoral problem was that Thomas Jefferson and Aaron Burr both received the same amount of Electoral votes even though they had run on the same ticket. One of the electors was supposed to not cast a ballot for Burr, but no one was chosen for that honor. This was before the 12th amendment, so the whoever had the most electoral votes became president, and second became vice president, instead of having separate ballots for president and vice president.
