First one that I know of. Ohio made sure they exposed the perpetrators, and rid their State of them, since the State was 85% Democrat to begin with. Pennsylvania was the same thing. Gore won the election of 2000, and America knows it too.

Benjamin Harrison - Harrison was elected President of the United States in 1888. In the Presidential election, Harrison received 100,000 fewer popular votes than incumbent President Grover Cleveland but carried the Electoral College 233 to 168. Although Harrison had made no political bargains, his supporters had given innumerable pledges upon his behalf. When Boss Matthew Quay of Pennsylvania heard that Harrison ascribed his narrow victory to Providence, Quay exclaimed that Harrison would never know "how close a number of men were compelled to approach...the penitentiary to make him President."
Andrew Jackson - During his first run for the Presidency in 1824, Jackson received a plurality of both the popular and electoral votes. Since no candidate received a majority, the election decision was given to the House of Representatives, which chose John Quincy Adams. Jackson denounced it as a "corrupt bargain" because Henry Clay gave his votes to Adams, who then made Clay secretary of state. Jackson later called for abolishing the Electoral College. Jackson's defeat burnished his political credentials, however, since many voters believed the "man of the people" had been robbed by the "corrupt aristocrats of the East."

Prior to Bush's thugs stealing the 2000 election for him, there is evidence the Dailey machine in Chicago got the election fixed for Kennedy in 1960. Prior to that : 1876 , the Hayes / Tilden election.
Evidently Rutherford Hayes cut a deal with key people in the electorial college to give him the presidency if Hayes would end Reconstruction in the South - I think the Elector who changed his vote was appointed Postmaster General.... and it did end in 1876. I am not convinced Bush's thugs did not rig the 2004 election.

I"m not sure if he was the first but it could not have happened at a worse time. Him and his gang members managed to steal not one but two elections so that would make him the one to steal the most elections I think.

Diebold was a known supporter of Bush during the election and the recount in Florida was supervised by GWB's dad's friends on the Supreme Court. Seems pretty shadey to me.

Wow Liberals are the worst sore winners! President Bush was elected in 2000 and 2004. I guess all of Gore's crying really got to you, didn't it?

the first president to ever "steal" and election was John Quincy Adams who received both a minority of electoral and popular votes, but still gained the presidency.

i don't know if it was the first, but there was definitely something very wrong... I've never seen the election be made into a mockery like that one.... that gave him a chance to start a war and pretty much insure his reelection...
