There have been 4 occasions when a minority president was elected: John Quincy Adams, Rutherford B. Hayes, Benjamin Harrison, and George W. Bush. Even if in these cases the popular vote did not prevail over the electoral vote, the good of the country was preferred to that of the population's favourites. Furthermore, a minority president could be chosen if the country was so deeply divided that three or more presidential candidates split the electoral votes among themselves, with the result that no one would win the majority vote, or more than 50%. The Electoral College reviews and analyzes facts and information about each candidate before choosing who they will vote for. A minority president elected into office does not necessarily mean that a president with no background or experience is elected, it simply means that voters' views fall toward three or more candidates who have similar views on what is good for the country.
