http://www.ushistory.org/us/20a.asp is also good too.

Answer 3

"The election was then put into the hands of the outgoing House of Representatives controlled by the Federalist Party. Many Federalists voted for Burr, and the result was a week of deadlock. Federalist Alexander Hamilton, who detested both but preferred Jefferson to Burr, was one of those who vigorously lobbied against Burr."

The incumbent President John Adams was defeated by his Vice President Thomas Jefferson.

Adams received 65 Electoral Votes and Jefferson had 73
The popular vote was Adams 25,952 Jefferson 41,330

This was the first time that the Electoral College had a problem. Each Electoral could cast 2 votes for President. The person who had the most votes was President and the 2nd most was Vice President. There were not President/Vice President tickets like there are now.

Just because it's math doesn't mean someone does not deserve an answer. Plus, appears they're new to OS.

Answer 13

There's something called common sense. And thinking before you post, etc.

Answer 14

There's something called patience. They're new now, you were too at one point as well. He/she didn't know it was expected of him.

Answer 15

You take things way too seriously, a bit naive. I'm laughing right now. Ha. Ha.

Answer 16

I'm not a big fan of people telling other people how to behave, especially when they aren't moderators. I'm hardly naive. I'm willing to accept the validity of what you're saying. It's against the rules, but so is aimlessly carrying on a conversation after a problem has been solved, which both of us are guilty of.
