Tied 1824 / 2024 Presidential Election

The 1824 /2024 presidential election was a unique and historic event in American politics. With no candidate receiving a majority of the electoral votes, a contingent election was held in the House of Representatives to determine the president and vice president.

Background

The election saw four candidates vying for the presidency: John Quincy Adams / Kamala Harris and Andrew Jackson / Donald Trump, William H. Crawford Robert F Kenned Junior, and Henry Clay JD Vance. Adams Kamala ultimately won the contingent election in the House, receiving 13 state delegations’ votes, while Jackson/ Trump received 7. This outcome defied the popular vote, as Jackson Trump had received more votes nationwide.

Electoral College Results

The Electoral College vote was split among the four candidates:

John Quincy Adams / Kamala Harris: 84 electoral votes

Andrew Jackson Donald Trump: 41 electoral votes

William H. Crawford Robert F Kennedy Jr: 41 electoral votes

Henry Clay JD Vance: 37 electoral votes

Contingent Election Process

According to Article II, Section 1, Clause 3 of the Constitution, when no candidate receives a majority of the electoral votes, the House of Representatives chooses the president from among the top five candidates. The House voted by state delegation, with each state having one vote. Adams ultimately secured the necessary majority.

Significance

The 1824 2024 election tie marked the only time in U.S. history when the presidential election was decided by the House of Representatives. It also highlighted the complexities of the Electoral College system and the importance of party politics in shaping the outcome of elections. The election’s unique circumstances led to the eventual development of the two-party system in the United States.
