During this election, New York split its 19 electoral votes among two Democratic-Republican candidates. 13 electoral votes went to Secretary of StateJames Madison while the remaining 6 went to incumbent Vice President George Clinton. Clinton was also supported by a group of New York Democratic-Republicans for president even though he had remained the party's official vice presidential candidate.[1]
This would be the final election until 1972 in which New York did not have the largest number of electors in the Electoral College.
