1788*: Winner ran functionally unopposed.
1792*: Winner ran functionally unopposed.
1820*: Winner ran functionally unopposed.
1824*: Thrown to the House.
1876*: Resolved by informal agreement of Congressmen.
1960*: Election tampering in Illinois.
1972*: Fair election, but illegal interference in opposition primaries.
2000*: Recount cut short by Supreme Court.

Excluding those with election tampering by urban party machines and organized crime. If we count smoke-filled room primaries, nearly every election is an asterisk. Hard to say how much white primaries and disenfranchised minorities after the 15th amendment changed the outcome of some elections.

I honestly think the only reason more people aren’t mention 1888 is because the Hayes to Cleveland era of internal American politics (1877 - 1897) is so boring nobody actually knows about it lmao.

Yeah, I'll admit I really don't care about that era, but I don't count it because the cheater lost.
