___ tied with Jefferson in the electoral college and hesitated to concede the election.
A)Samuel Adams
B)John Adams
C)Aaron Burr
D)John Marshall
E)John Quincy Adams
Jefferson and his running mate Aaron Burr each received seventy-three votes. With the votes tied, the election was thrown to the House of Representatives as required by Article II, Section 1 of the U.S. Constitution.
The Democratic-Republicans' failure to execute their plan to award Jefferson one more vote than Burr resulted in a tie, which necessitated a contingent election in the House of Representatives. Under the terms laid out in the Constitution, the outgoing House of Representatives chose between Jefferson and Burr.
