Explanation:

In the 1800 U.S. presidential election, Thomas Jefferson and Aaron Burr tied in electoral votes. At the time, the House of Representatives, controlled by Democratic-Republicans (Jefferson's party), was tasked with breaking the tie. After multiple ballots, Jefferson was elected president. The duel between Burr and Hamilton happened later, the popular vote did not decide the tie, and the House was not Federalist-dominated.
