PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION OF 1800

On election day Thomas Jefferson and Arron Burr both received 73 electoral votes. Incumbent President John Adams managed just 65 votes. The presidential election was thrown to the House of Represenatives to elect our next president. Even though it had always been clear during the campaign that Jefferson was the presidential candidate and Burr the Vice presidential candidate, Burr refused to concede..... thus forcing the issue to the House of Representatives for a vote. On February 17, 1801, The House, with each casting one vote based on the majority of that states delegation, took 36 ballots to decide Thomas Jefferson the third President of the United States. Thus, marking the first time in history the House of Representatives electing the president of the United States.
