The relationship between branches of government can significantly influence the outcome of a presidential election through various mechanisms, such as the enforcement of election laws, judicial rulings on voting rights, and redistricting practices. For instance, if the legislative branch enacts laws that affect voting accessibility or election procedures, it can sway electoral participation. Additionally, the judiciary's interpretations of these laws can either uphold or challenge them, impacting voter turnout and confidence in the electoral process. Ultimately, a cooperative or contentious dynamic between branches can shape the electoral landscape and the legitimacy of the election results.

The Federalist majority in the House of Representatives played a crucial role in the outcome of the 1800 presidential election by determining the winner in a contentious tie between Thomas Jefferson and Aaron Burr. Despite Jefferson receiving more electoral votes, the House, controlled by Federalists, had the power to decide the election. Their eventual choice of Jefferson, influenced by political maneuvering and the desire to prevent Burr's presidency, marked a significant shift in power from Federalists to Democratic-Republicans, ultimately leading to a peaceful transfer of power that set a precedent for future elections.
