Popular vote is the sum of the sourced state counts, shown only where every state that held a popular vote has one; sums from county returns (1868–1972) can run a few tenths of a point below national totals published elsewhere. In 1796, 1800 each elector cast two votes for president, so electoral votes are votes received out of twice the number of electors.
