∙ 13y agoThe House of Representatives voted for the President in the 1800 elections. Jefferson won.
In 1800 the Constitution did not mandate that the electoral college explicitly vote for a president and a vice president. Rather, each member cast two votes, and the candidate with the majority of the votes (half of all votes, plus one) won an election.
In this election, no one candidate received a majority.Thomas Jefferson and Aaron Burr, the candidates for the Democrat-Republican and Federalist Parties, each received 73 electoral votes.
When there is no one candidate who receives a majority of the votes, the House of Representatives must decide who will be the winner of the elections. This is still true to-day.
The House of Representatives was at the time controlled by the Federalist Party, as most House seats were held by Federalists. Aaron Burr thus seems as the most likely candidate; indeed many Federalists did vote for Burr. However, Alexander Hamilton, a prominent figure in the Federalist Party, detested Burr and advocated for Jefferson, who ended up being voted in as President.

∙ 6y agoAccording to the prevailing rules of electoral college voting in 1796 and 1800, electors cast votes for two persons. Electors could not distinguish between their presidential and vice-presidential choices. The United States presidential election of 1796 resulted in the election of a President and Vice President from opposing tickets. Responding to the problems from the 1796 and 1800 elections, in 1803 Congress proposed the Twelfth Amendment to the United States Constitution - prescribing electors cast separate ballots for president and vice president - to replace the system outlined in Article II, Section 1, Clause 3 of the United States Constitution. By June 1804, the states had ratified the amendment in time for the 1804 election.
