1804
1842 was not a U.S. Presidential election year.
It lead to the creation of the Twelfth Amendment, which addresses the issue of choosing the Vice President. The protocol prior to this election was that the Presidential candidate with the most votes would win the office of President, and the second-place candidate would be awarded the office of Vice President. However, this system became flawed in 1800, and it became clear that this could not be a permanent system. The Twelfth Amendment was written in order to solve that problem.
Originally, the winner of the election became president, and the runner-up became vice-president.
According 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.
The results were shaped by regional interests.
The result of the 1920 Presidential election is that the Republican candidate Warren G. Harding defeated Democrat James M. Cox.

The answer depends largely upon the result of the 2012 presidential election.
The amendment in question is not responsible for allowing a presidential candidate to lose the popular vote but win the electoral vote. This is a consequence of the design of the Electoral College, outlined in Article II, Section 1 of the U.S. Constitution. The Electoral College system can result in a discrepancy between the popular vote and the electoral vote, as it is the latter that ultimately determines the outcome of the presidential election.
