Aaron Burr received 73 electoral votes, the same as his running mate Thomas Jefferson, and therein lay the problem: someone was supposed to vote for Jefferson but not Burr, but no one did (perhaps because the contest with their opponents, John Adams and Charles Pinckney, was so close). As a result of this tactical error, the decision needed to be resolved in the House of Representatives, which was itself a big problem. The lesson learned was that after 1800, electoral votes were cast separately for Presidential and Vice-Presidential contests.
