The Electoral College is in doubt again!

 

A lot of people have been wondering if the

 Electoral College has altered an election outcome 

before.

The answer is yes.

 In fact, this has happened no fewer than four or perhaps five times in American history:

The elections of 1876, 1888, 2000 and 2016 all ended with the popular vote winner being denied the presidency due to the Electoral College

ALL OF THEM WERE DEMOCRATS!

In 2020 the Electoral College

 took a turn and 

elected a democrat, as it should!

However; the results it today’s Civil War!

The Electoral College Has Altered Elections Before

Tuesday, November 7, 1876,

 in which Republican nominee Rutherford B. Hayes faced Democrat Samuel J. Tilden Democrat lost!

Tuesday, November 6, 1888.

Tuesday, November 7, 2000.

Tuesday, November 8, 2016.

The 1824 United States presidential election

was the tenth quadrennial presidential election.

 It was held from Tuesday, October 26 to Wednesday, December 1, 1824.

Andrew Jackson, John Quincy Adams, Henry Clay and William Crawford were the primary contenders for the presidency.

The result of the election was inconclusive, as no candidate won a majority of the electoral vote. In the election for vice president, John C. Calhoun was elected with a comfortable majority of the vote. Because none of the candidates for president garnered an electoral vote majority, the U.S. House of Representatives, under the provisions of the Twelfth Amendment, held a contingent election. On February 9, 1825, John Quincy Adams was elected as president.

Whig Party 

Democrat lost!
The Whig Party was a political party active in the middle of the 19th century in the United States. Alongside the slightly larger Democratic Party, it was one of the two major parties in the United States between the late 1830s and the early 1850s

Most of these elections were highly controversial due to factors other than the popular vote-electoral college split. The 1824 election is known as the “corrupt bargain,” because one of the losing candidates, Henry Clay, threw his weight behind the ultimate winner, John Quincy Adams, in exchange for an appointment in Adams’ administration. In 1876, the popular vote was disputed in no less than three states, while the 2000 election was ultimately decided by a Republican controlled Supreme Court decision.
