Jackson wins popular vote, but lost electoral vote to John Quincy Adams;

Actually, in 1824 John Q. Adams lost both the popular vote (108,740 to
153,544) AND the electoral vote (84-99), AND did not even receive the
majority of electoral votes, but was awarded the presidency anyway by the
House!! Glad we weren't around in THOSE days...
