As part of the Compromise of 1877, the Electoral Commission—appointed, by the Republican (nationalist) 44th Constitutional Congress, in violation of Article II, Section 1 [Clause 1]—decides that 20 disputed Presidential Electors be awarded to Republican (nationalist) de facto governor Rutherford B. Hayes (a resident of the federal enclave of Ohio).
Initially the unofficial Electoral vote tally was Democratic (constitutionalist) Governor Samuel J. Tilden, of New York (184); Hayes (165). Neither candidate had the requisite 185 Electoral votes to win. Hayes is unlawfully elected President, becoming the first of five de facto Presidents from Ohio, a federal enclave, not of the continental United States; thus not qualified, according to Article II, Section 1 [Clause 5] to be elected President.
NOTE: This makes Tilden the only presidential candidate to win the Electoral vote and lose the presidency.
