Exactly. Henry Clay once cast a contrary vote because he wanted to keep George Washington the only President to get 100% of the electors. I seem to remember it being for William Henry Harrison, but, could be wrong.

It was James Monroe that almost tied Washington.

You are thinking of 1820. If wasn’t clay, but some Monroe elector in NH THAT voted FOR JQ Adams instead of Monroe
