There were 20 disputed electoral votes. Tilden only needed 1 one of those votes to win, but if Hayes won all 20, he would have more votes than Tilden. Later, Congress created a group of 7 democrats, 7 republicans, and one independent to review the election dispute. The independent resigned and a Republican took their place. After the review, Hayes won the election.
