The Federalists proposed dividing the state into three single-member districts in order to improve their chances of winning any of the state's electoral votes, but the legislators ultimately rejected this plan in favor of choosing all three electors on a general ticket.Ratcliffe 1998 79–81 The Democratic-Republican members of the Ohio General Assembly held a caucus at Chillicothe, Ohio, in February and nominated three electors pledged to Jefferson. The Federalist Party nominated its ticket in a public meeting in Cincinnati; in an attempt to win support from the dissident Democratic-Republican faction, the meeting named a ticket that included both Federalists and Democratic-Republicans.Ratcliffe 1998 81–82 Although a gathering of Federalist members of Congress had nominated Charles Cotesworth Pinckney for president in February, the Federalist electors remained formally unpledged.Dauer 2002 162, 168 In contrast to the previous year, Ohio Democratic-Republicans displayed remarkable unity at the polls, and Jefferson carried the state by a nearly 7:1 margin.Ratcliffe 1998 82–83 General election Summary Ohio chose three electors on a statewide general ticket. Nineteenth-century election laws required voters to elect the members of the Electoral College individually, rather than as a block. This sometimes resulted in small differences in the number of votes cast for electors pledged to the same presidential nominee, if some voters did not vote for all the electors nominated by a party.Lampi n.d.
