Which election in the 20th century had the most number of candidates receive electoral votes (on their own, not couting faithless electors)?

My guess would be 1960, because of the "unpledged electors."  A number of elections had three "named" candidates with EV's, 1912, 1924, 1948, 1968.

I'm not counting the unpledges, so '12, '24, '48, and '68 are the years I'm looking for, because those candidates actually campaigned for the electoral votes.

Franklin Peirce in 1852, I think.

That is correct.  It is now your turn to ask a question.
