Third party "spoilers", those who by running serve only to take votes away from one of the major party candidates, include Ross Perot in 1992 and Theodore Roosevelt in 1912.
Roosevelt had been good friends with President Taft, but they had a falling out before the election of 1912. That was the only U. S. Presidential election in which the incumbent president finished in third place.
In 1992, Arkansas and D.C. were the only "states" in which at least 50% of the voters voted for the same ticket (Clinton/Gore). (Arkansas is Bill Clinton's home state, and D.C. always votes strongly Democratic.)
