after death of James Sherman. Sherman's death, only 6 days before the ballot, came too late to change the ballots

Taft placed 3rd in the 1912 election.

Douglas came 3rd in the Electoral College in 1860 winning only a plurality in Missouri - he won 3 electors separately in New Jersey -

Bell placed 3rd in 1860 in the EC.

Apologies, Douglas came last in the Electoral College below Breckinridge (72) & Bell (39).
