Kennedy and Richard Nixon, where Kennedy won by a small margin in the electoral college despite a close popular vote, and the 2000 presidential election between George W. Bush and Al Gore, which resulted in a controversial Supreme Court ruling and Bush winning the electoral college despite losing the popular vote.

Theodore Roosevelt (Bull Moose, 1912)
Why was the 1960 presidential elction so different from the previous elections?
It was the only U. S. Presidential election in which one of the candidates had previously won two other U. S. Presidential elections. That candidate was Franklin D. Roosevelt, who won his third presidential election in 1940... and his fourth in 1944. The 22nd Amendment to the U. S. Constitution, ratified in February, 1951, made sure that wouldn't happen again (unless, of course, the amendment gets repealed in the future).

When did the political parties start selecting runningmates?
It's a little different: the political parties used to nominate vice presidents by separate voting procedures during the Parties' national conventions in the election years. Gradually and starting in the 20th century, Presidential candidates (who had always had some influence on the earlier vice-presidential election processes) became the major players in deciding who should be voted vice-President. The first to simply name a running mate even before the Party Convention started was Ronald Reagan in his (then unsuccesful) bid for the Republican nomination in 1976.

Which is true of the 1912 pesidential election?
Thomas Jefferson was elected in 1800 despite a tie vote in the electoral college. His running mate, Aaron Burr got the same number of votes and Burr apparently saw a chance to be president despite his agreement to run for vice president.

Who won the election of 1860?
You could say that Aaron Burr, who was Jefferson's running mate finished second. What happened was that in the electoral college , Thomas Jefferson and Aaron Burr tied. In those days each electors voted twice and the person finishing second became the vice president. ( One of the pro-Jefferson electors should have left Burr off his ballot. ) Anyway, due to the tie vote , the election went to the House of Representatives. Burr saw his chance to be president and refused to concede. Opponents of Jefferson in the House saw an opportunity to mess up Jefferson's victory, but eventually, Jefferson was elected President. The method of electing the president and vice president was changed by the 12th amendment, which was added to the Constitution in time for the next election .
