1804
What happened in New York, 1804
In 1804, New York awarded its 19 electoral votes to Jefferson of the Democratic-Republican party. New York ended up on the winning side — Thomas Jefferson captured the White House that year.
It marked the 2nd consecutive election in which New York backed the Democratic-Republican party, a streak reaching back to 1800. The region divided — Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Vermont joined New York for the Democratic-Republican ticket, while Connecticut and Massachusetts did not. Across the 60 presidential elections New York has taken part in, it has most often sided with the Democratic party (29 times). The vote fell within the First Party System — Federalists vs Democratic-Republicans.
In the national count, Thomas Jefferson took 162 of the 176 electoral votes, against Charles C. Pinckney's 14.
