Voters chose 25 representatives, or electors to the Electoral College, who voted for President and Vice President. Virginia voted for the Democratic-Republican candidate and incumbent president, James Madison. Madison won Virginia, his home state, by a margin of 46.2%.https://votearchive.com/us-pres-elect-1812-va/ Presidential Results: Virginia, 1812 Vote Archive 2020-06-18 The race in the state was noteworthy for a dispute within the Federalist Party, who had formed an unofficial pact to support rebel Democratic-Republican candidate DeWitt Clinton nationwide, while putting up Federalist candidate Jared Ingersoll as Clinton's running-mate. The Virginia state Federalist Party rejected this pact, however, and instead nominated Rufus King, the party's vice-presidential candidate in the two previous elections, for president, while nominating William Richardson Davie as King's running-mate. Despite the state's substantial number of presidential electors and the closeness of the race nationally, the dispute did not have a major impact on the election's outcome, as Madison was never considered likely to lose his home state.Bonin, Christopher M.; Virginia in the War of 1812; p152 See also United States presidential elections in Virginia References 1 Virginia 1812 Category:1812 Virginia elections
