Rutherford B. Hayes was chosen by a special electoral commission since initially neither candidate had the requisite 185 electoral votes. Although he lost the popular vote to Democrat Samuel J. Tilden, he won the electoral vote when he was give twenty disputed electoral votes by the House. In the end, he received 185 electoral votes to Tilden's 184. It is generally believed that the Democrats acquiesced the victory to Hayes by way of an unofficial agreement, in exchange for the Republicans' removing troops from the South and, thereby, ending Reconstruction.
