The Presidential Election of 1876 in the United States ended up being one of the most disputed in the history of the country. Democratic candidate Samuel J. Tilden led Hayes by 260,000 in the popular votes over  Republican candidate Rutherford B. Hayes. He also had 184 electoral votes and needed one to win the election. But what happened was that the 20 electoral votes that belonged to the states of Florida, Louisiana, and South Carolina were in dispute by both parties. And in the state of Oregon, one elector was declared illegal. Finally, after a legal battle between Republicans and Democrats, Congress created a commission called Electoral Commission that gave the victory to Hayes on March 1877.
