The Electoral College.
Some notable 20th century elections that were ultimately decided by the electoral college include the 1960 presidential election between John F. Kennedy and Richard Nixon, where Kennedy won by a small margin in the electoral college despite a close popular vote, and the 2000 presidential election between George W. Bush and Al Gore, which resulted in a controversial Supreme Court ruling and Bush winning the electoral college despite losing the popular vote.

In these cases, the candidate who won the majority of the electoral college votes became the president, despite not winning the popular vote.
