According to the Constitution, the House of Representatives had to choose between Burr and Jefferson. The Democratic-Republicans clearly intended for Jefferson to be president.

Federalists still held a majority in the House, and their votes would decide the winner.Aaron Burr refused to concede the election to Thomas Jefferson.

What was the outcome between Thomas Jefferson and Aaron Burr?

If you mean the Presidential election of 1800 , Jefferson and Burr tied in electoral votes because they were running mates and every elector got two votes, so all the Jefferson/Burr supporters voted for both Jefferson and Burr causing a tie. (Somebody should have 'wasted" one of Burr votes, but nobody did.) Due to the tie, the decision went to the House of Representatives. One would have expected Burr to resign, but he saw his chance to be president and the anti-Jefferson people saw their chance to make a deal., so there was a lot of politicking before the House finally made Jefferson the President. (The Constitution was soon changed to separate the voting for President and vice-president .)

What was unusual about the election of 1800's?

There was a tie in electoral votes between Thomas Jefferson and and his running mate, Aaron Burr. In those days each elector voted twice and the person finishing second became the vice president. ( One of the pro-Jefferson electors should have left Burr off his ballot. ) Anyway, due to the tie vote , the election went to the House of Representatives. Burr saw his chance to be president and refused to concede. Opponents of Jefferson in the House saw an opportunity to mess up Jefferson's victory and perhaps gain some concessions for their co-operation, but eventually, Jefferson was elected President. The method of electing the president and vice president was changed by the 12th amendment, which was added to the Constitution in time for the next election .
