This has happened three times. In 1876 Samuel Tilden won the popular vote, but Rutherford Hayes won the electoral majority by one vote. In 1888 Grover Cleveland lost in electoral vote to Benjamin Harrison even though he carred the popular vote. In 2000, Al Gore lost to George W. Bush but won the popular vote. ( In 1824, Andrew Jackson won both the popular vote and the electoral vote, but did not get the required majority of electoral vote and so in accordance with the law, the House of Representatives chose the president and they chose John Quincy Adams. )

If you win the popular vote in a state you get how many of the votes?
In a Presidential election nowadays, winning the popular vote in a state is the first step in getting "Electoral College" (E.C.) votes.State legislatures now use two ways of converting their popular vote into E.C. votes. All but two use the winner-take-all or "unit rule" that says the winner of the largest number of popular votes gets all the state E.C. votes.Each state has the E.C. votes of its US Representatives plus its two US Senators. The winner of the popular vote in the "unit rule" cases gets all that state's votes. That's the answer for 49 out of 51 places voting in the Electoral College.Maine and Nebraska use a "District Plan". They count the popular vote in each Congressional District and then award the winner in each of those one E.C. vote. Then a two-E.C. vote bonus goes to the winner of the state-wide vote. For instance in Nebraska, Mr. McCain won two districts, Mr. Obama won one district, and Mr. McCain won the state-wide vote. Nebraska's E.C. vote was split: McCain 4, Obama 1.The total E.C. votes amount to 538, equal to the 435 in the House of Representatives, plus the 100 in the US Senate, plus 3 for a total Electoral College count for the District of Columbia. To be elected President of the US in the Electoral College, it takes a majority of 270 E.C. votes.
