Electoral votes are the presidential votes actually recorded in the National Archives count, including split and faithless votes. The map uses modern state outlines as a geographic reference; these are not historical boundaries.
Minor popular-vote candidates not separately tabulated by the source are grouped as other recorded votes. Historical popular-vote figures and definitions can vary between compilations.
Before the Twelfth Amendment, each elector cast two undifferentiated votes. The table includes both votes, so candidate totals add to twice the number of electors. These are not modern separate presidential and vice-presidential ballots.
A comparable nationwide popular-vote total is not provided. Electors were chosen under varying state rules, including appointment by legislatures; missing popular figures are not zero votes.
States selected electors on different schedules; the archive records the election year rather than inventing a single national election day.
George Washington again received a vote from every elector who voted.
