Who did not receive enough votes from the Electoral College.?

Answer 1

I am not sure I understand your question, since any candidate who does not win the Electoral College does not win the presidency; thus, over the years, a large number of presidential hopefuls have not received enough electoral votes to win. But there have also been some controversial elections throughout our history. There was one in 1800 where the final results in electoral voting ended in a tie: Thomas Jefferson and John Adams received the same number of electoral votes. As a result, the House of Representatives ended up making the decision.

The 1824 election between John Quincy Adams and Andrew Jackson was also problematic, and for the first time, the winner of the popular vote did not win the election, due to receiving too few electoral votes. There are also other examples. I enclose a link to a good description of seven controversial U.S. elections where the results of the electoral vote determined the presidency.

Answer 2

Andrew Jackson lost the election of 1824 even though he received the largest number of popular votes and electoral votes.

In the 1824 presidential election an individual needed to receive at least 131 electoral votes out of the 261 total electoral votes. Andrew Jackson received 99 electoral votes, John Quincy Adams received 84 electoral votes, William Crawford received 41 electoral votes, and Henry Clay received 37 electoral votes. The popular vote totals were Andrew Jackson 151,271, John Quincy Adams 113,122, Henry Clay 47,531, and William Crawford 40,856. Since no candidate received the required majority of 131 electoral votes, the president was elected by the U.S. House of Representatives in accordance with the Twelfth Amendment of the United States Constitution. John Quincy Adams won the election in the U.S. House of Representatives.
