ADAMS CERTIFIES RECEIPT OF CONNECTICUT ELECTORAL VOTES FOR PRESIDENT AND VICE-PRESIDENT (WASHINGTON & ADAMS)
An official acknowledgement that Adams himself a candidate for Vice- President has received a tally of Connecticut’s votes in the second Presidential elections held under the Constitution a vote which resulted in the re-election of Washington and Adams- Washington’s popularity had diminished little since 1789: Adams, on the other hand, had alienated many of the Jeffersonians and there was a concerted behind—the—scenes campaign to replace him with George Clinton of New York- Even Adams good friend Benjamin Rush “had so seen under the influence of Jefferson and his adherents that he joined the movement to replace Adanis.-2 (P Smith, John Adams. 2:830) Unaware that electoral votes from Connecticut were unanimous in supporting his re-election Adams writes:
“Received from the hand of Enoch Parsons, Esq. a Packet certified by the Electors of CONNECTICUT to contain a List of their Votes for President anti Vice President of the United States.”
In early November. 1792. electors were chosen from the fifteen states; some appointed, by their state legislatures, others elected by popular vote. On 5 December the electors cast their ballots which were formally transmitted to Congress. Iii February of the following year the electoral vote was tabulated by Congress. and Washington and Adams were officially declared reelected. President Washington received 152 of the 264 electoral votes possible (each elector cast two votes). Adams received 77 votes from 10 of the 15 states, including all Connecticut’s ballots. No more than fifteen receipts like the present would have been written by Adams (one per state).
