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 the popular vote did not trump the electoral vote in these cases, the good for the country was prioritized over popular favorites. Additionally, a minority president could be chosen if the country was so deeply divided that three or more presidential candidates split the electoral votes, resulting in no one winning a majority, or more than 50 percent. The Electoral College reviews and dissects the facts and information about each candidate before choosing who to vote for. A minority president elected does not necessarily mean that a president without experience or expertise is elected, it simply means that voters' views shift toward three or more candidates who have similar views on what is good for the country.
