1888
In 1888, the peculiar workings of America’s democracy were put on display when Grover Cleveland lost the presidential election to Benjamin Harrison. Although Cleveland actually received more popular votes, Harrison won the Electoral College vote—and therefore the presidency. This had happened twice before, once in 1824 and again in 1876. More than a century later in 2000, President George W. Bush would win the presidency after losing the popular vote. Most recently and most dramatically, President Donald Trump took the White House despite receiving 2.8 million fewer votes than his opponent.
