∙ 13y agoIn the 1824 election, Andrew Jackson won the popular vote receiving 41.3% of the popular votes. He also received the most votes in the Electoral college vote, 99, but didn't have the required majority, 131, in the electoral college (there were 4 candidates). As a result, the election was to be decided by the House of Representatives as prescribed by the 12th amendment. The amendment stated that the top three candidates for President be considered. On February 25, 1825, John Quincy Adams became president on the first Ballet as he carried 13 states, Jackson carried 7 states, and William Crawford carried 4. At that time, the popular vote did not consist of six states, since their legislatures chose their candidates.
