When nobody receives a majority of the votes of the electoral college, the House of Representatives elects the President, with each state casting one vote. So although Andrew Jackson had more popular votes and more electoral votes, since nobody had the 131-vote minimum, the election went to the House. Seven states voted for Jackson, but thirteen voted for John Quincy Adams (and three voted for William H. Crawford).
