1804
Reading the 1804 result in New Hampshire
New Hampshire backed Jefferson (Democratic-Republican) in the 1804 presidential election, casting 7 electoral votes for the ticket. That placed New Hampshire with the eventual winner: Thomas Jefferson went on to take the presidency, and New Hampshire was part of his column.
The result flipped New Hampshire away from the Federalist ticket it had backed in each of the previous 2 cycles. The region divided — Vermont joined New Hampshire for the Democratic-Republican ticket, while Massachusetts did not. Over its 59 recorded presidential cycles, New Hampshire has backed the Republican party more than any other — 28 times in all. The vote fell within the First Party System — Federalists vs Democratic-Republicans.
Nationally, Thomas Jefferson finished with 162 of the 176 electoral votes to Charles C. Pinckney's 14.
