| Either Electoral-vote or (after, say, 1820) popular-vote runner-up is perfectly acceptable, so long as you clearly indicate (preferably in the title) which you're seeking. I got all 56, so I'm not complaining, but in cases like 1860, the popular and electoral runner-up differ. Electoral votes might be better since it's hard to say who won the popular vote before 1824 and the electoral-vote runner-up won the popular vote in 1824, 1872, 1888 and 2000. |
