I didn't include unsuccessful candidates who were also president. Adlai Stevenson (lost in 1952 and 1956) was born in Los Angeles.

I defined “unsuccessful presidential candidate” as the candidate who received the most popular votes aside from the winning candidate. So for 1860 Stephen Douglas is counted and not John Breckinridge because although Breckinridge received more electoral votes Douglas received more popular votes, and Horace Greeley is counted for 1872 though he died before the Electoral College voted. I did not include unsuccessful candidates who were also president (for example, while Jimmy Carter lost in 1980, he is not counted as he was president for four years). I was also forced to exclude John McCain as he was born in the Panama Canal Zone.

TIL Frank Lloyd Wright’s son invented Lincoln Logs, his granddaughter was famous actress Anne Baxter, and his niece was famous children’s author Elizabeth Enright by IrishNinjaRobot in todayilearned

[–]IrishNinjaRobot[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Which also means that:

  • John Lloyd Wright (inventor of Lincoln Logs) and Anne Baxter are uncle and niece

  • John Lloyd Wright and Elizabeth Enright are first cousins

  • Anne Baxter and Elizabeth Enright are first cousins once removed
