[EL] the vote for president by state, 1796

[Mark Scarberry]

My thanks to Richard for this information and for his other help.

I am surprised that Georgia, along with North Carolina and Virginia (based
on the partial returns), didn't break more heavily for Jefferson. Theories
as to why they didn't?

Maybe the 15 to 1 vote for Adams in Massachusetts (a margin of more than
13,000 votes) would have been expected.
