If by Electoral Vote, either the 1800 election under the pre-12th amendment Constitution with the top two contenders tied, or the 1876 election. In the modern era, the 2000 election was the closest election by Electoral vote.
Under the Constitution in 1800, the first place winner would be President and the second place winner the Vice President.

This tie exposed a problem with the system of the time, although the election was clear as to which party had won the presidency.
