"This is the fourth time it has happened in American history. (1824 - Andrew
Jackson wins popular vote, but lost electoral vote to John Quincy Adams; 1876 -
Samuel Tilden wins popular vote but lost electoral vote to Rutherford B. Hayes;
1888 GROVER CLEVELAND wins popular vote but lost electoral vote to BENJAMIN
HARRISON.)

Interesting reading. I knew there had been at least another tie in my

The county map is very revealing. Never saw that before.
