In the election of 1800-1801, the electoral college had mostly Republicans and each of them had two votes. Each of them cast one vote for Jefferson and one vote for Aaron Burr.

What happened during the election of 1800 that led to the decision in the House of Representatives?
Jefferson and Burr tied in the number of electoral votes, 73. These are the votes that decide the president. Due to this, the decision went to the House of Representatives (I believe this rule is somewhere in the Constitution or one of its amendments.) Obviously, The House of Representatives voted for Jefferson, which is one of the reasons most of us have not heard of Burr and all of us have heard of Jefferson). The Jeffersonian Republicans, not to be confused with today's Republican party, (although they share many similar ideas), held the majority in the House. Thus resulted in President Jefferson.
