In the 1824 presidential election Delaware, Illinois, Louisiana, Maryland, and New York split their electoral votes among Andrew Jackson, John Quincy Adams, William Crawford, and Henry Clay. All of the other states cast their electoral votes to only one candidate. The split votes were Delaware (Adams 1; Crawford 2), Illinois (Jackson 2; Adams 1), Louisiana (Jackson 3; Adams 2), Maryland (Jackson 7; Adams 3; Crawford 1), and New York (Jackson 1; Adams 26; Crawford 5; Clay 4).

The state that split its electoral votes most evenly between the two candidates in recent elections was Nebraska. In the 2020 presidential election, Joe Biden received 4 electoral votes while Donald Trump received 5, reflecting a relatively close division in voter preference.
