Number one, The 18 76 United States presidential election The US has seen its fair share of contested elections, although this was a particularly bizarre case.

Why?

Because both Republican Rutherford B.

Hayes and Democrat Samuel J.

Tilden declared victory while Tilden was ahead with 184 electoral votes.

Disputes arose in Florida, Louisiana and South Carolina.
