Which minor party gained the most electoral votes in a presidential election?

Progressive party gained the most electoral votes in a presidential election.

Theodore Roosevelt was a writer, governor of New York, and President of the United States from 1901 to 1909.

America’s two-party political system makes it difficult for candidates from outside the Republican and Democratic parties to win presidential elections. Since 1920, only three third-party candidates such as Robert La Follette in 1924, Strom Thurmond in 1948 and George Wallace in 1968  able to win even a single electoral vote.  

Then Theodore Roosevelt challenges the sitting president and creates the Progressive Party.  The title for highest share of votes ever earned by a third-party candidate in American history is still held by Theodore Roosevelt during the election of 1912.

Progressive party gained the most electoral votes in a presidential election.  How electoral votes work are as follows: As voters head to the polls on Tuesday, they will not vote for the presidential candidates directly in a popular vote. Instead, they will vote to elect specific people, known as “electors” to the college. Each state gets a certain number of electoral votes based on its population.
