1888 was not controversial at all.

Everyone knew why Cleveland won the popular vote. He got 58-80% in nearly every Southern state and just barely lost New York. That math is easy to figure out enough.

Cleveland did not challenge the race, though New York was stolen by Tammany Hall for Harrison, probably the only GOP Member they ever helped out.

Probably 1884. Both major party candidates were accused of voter fraud, having illegitimate kids, and taking bribes. The winner of New York was not known for a week after Election Day.
