Belva Lockwood ran for president in 1884 and she was on the ballot in at least 6 states. While the votes weren't officially counted for her at the time, she submitted a petition to congress that had the exact numbers that she received. She also claimed that in NY her votes weren't just not counted but counted instead for Grover Cleveland. If that's the case, he wouldn't have won the election without fraudulently counting her votes for himself.
