George Washington was reelected president in 1792 and John Adams was reelected vice-president. According to the prevailing rules of electoral college voting at that time, electors cast votes for two persons. Electors could not distinguish between their presidential and vice-presidential choices. The recipient of the most electoral votes would become president and the runner-up vice-president. George Washington received 132 electoral votes and John Adams received 77 electoral votes. Others receiving electoral votes were George Clinton (50), Thomas Jefferson (4), Aaron Burr (1)

What is it called when a candidate wins the popular vote but loses the electoral vote?
You see, there are also Electoral Votes involved in elections. Each state has a set amount of Electoral Votes; the amount depends on how many counties the state has. When the popular vote is done, it is determined who got the most votes in each state. Once that is determined, ALL of the state's Electoral Votes go to that candidate. After a certain amount of Electoral Votes, a candidate an automatically win the election. In case that was too confusing, here's an example.
