Best Answer

Rutherford Hayes was elected as a result of the decision of a special electoral commission since initially neither candidate had the requisite 185 electoral votes. Samuel J. Tilden won the popular vote and received 184 of the 185 required for election, to Hayes' 165 electoral votes. To settle the dispute, Congress appointed a special committee consisting of five House members, five Senators and five supreme court justices.

The presidential election of 2020 was finally settled in December 2020, when the Electoral College cast their votes and confirmed Joe Biden as the winner. This followed a series of legal challenges and recounts in several swing states, which did not change the overall outcome of the election.
