Answer 1

Electors: Members of the Electoral College. We vote for the electors in a presidental election. The electors then vote and choose the President. We don't directly elect the president.

Answer 2

Samuel Tilden, Democrat. Rutherford B Hayes Republican. Candidates for President in 1876. Texas, Florida and South Carolina electoral college votes were in question.
Back room deal gave the GOP the presidency and the Dems's got to wipe out African American gains since the Civil War and impose black codes. The end of Reconstruction.

Answer 3

Cleveland and Harrison is another example of winning the popular vote and losing the electoral vote. Cleveland was president and ran for reelction in 1888. He lost 2 states that he had won in 84. That was enough to give Harrison and electoral college victory. Cleveland took 4 years off and came back to beat Harrison in 92. The only president to serve non consecutive terms in office.

Answer 4

Gore and Bush were your candidates in 2000. Same situation. Bush got the electorial college win. Gore got the popular vote. Florida figured into this one. It wasn't quite the backroom deal that 1876 was. But vote validity was challenged. "Hanging chad" became a thing. The Supreme Court helped decide the out come. The Gore campaign took their case to the court and wanted Florida declared good for their guy. They gave the state to Bush and Bush won.

Answer 5

Don't know why Grover Cleveland is there again. Ronald Reagan played the part of a baseball player named Gover Cleveland Alexander in a movie. Maybe that's what is wanted.
