2000- Bush/Gore
1996- Clinton/Dole
1992- Clinton/Bush
1968- Nixon/Humphrey
1948- Truman/Dewey
1916- Wilson/Hughes
1912- Wilson/Roosevelt


Also, 1860- a runoff between Lincoln and Breckenridge...

In 1860, Lincoln would have won the Electoral Vote even if all three of the other candidates' votes were combined against him.

2000 is an easy one, almost all Nader voters go Gore.
1996 is also easy, Clinton came only just shy of 50% and IIRC would have won the Electoral Vote even if Dole and Perot were combined.
1992 is a bit harder. Most of Perot's voters were angry at Bush, so they probably would have stayed home and the rest broken slightly for Clinton.
1968, Nixon, Wallace's vote wasn't significant enough in the states he didn't win for it to make a difference, and people who voted for Wallace wouldn't have voted for Humphrey.
1948, Truman, just a hunch. Truman was recovering throughout the campaign, and a longer campaign would have made it easier.
1916, Wilson.
1912, Roosevelt would have rallied the Republican vote.
