Answer 2

There have been multiple close elections in U.S. history, but one notable example is the 1876 election between Rutherford B. Hayes and Samuel J. Tilden. In this election, Hayes won the electoral college by a margin of one vote, but this outcome was ultimately decided by a controversial compromise in the Electoral Commission that favored Hayes and led to his victory.
