Answer: Four presidents took office without winning the popular vote. In other words, they did not receive a plurality in terms of the popular vote. They were elected, instead, by the electoral college or in the case of John Quincy Adams by the House of Representatives after a tie in the electoral votes. They were: 1  John Quincy Adams who lost by 44,804 votes to Andrew Jackson in 1824. 2  Rutherford B. Hayes who lost by 264,292 votes to Samuel J. Tilden in 1876.
1. Washington is the only president to have been unanimously elected by the Electoral College. In both the election of 1789 and 1792 Washington received all votes from the Electoral College. During the first election, Washington won the electors of all ten eligible states. Three states, however, did not contribute to the vote total.
