One aspect of the presidential election that Andrew Jackson tried but ultimately failed to achieve was the elimination of the Electoral College system. He believed that the Electoral College undermined the principle of "one person, one vote" and favored the interests of the wealthy elite. Despite his efforts, Jackson was unable to gather enough support to abolish the Electoral College during his presidency.
