New Hampshire was one of three states where electors were chosen by popular vote which the Federalists seriously contested, in addition to Massachusetts and Maryland. Although a clandestine gathering of Federalist members of Congress had nominated Pinckney in February, the Federalist electors were formally unpledged. Manning J. Dauer argues that the uncertainty surrounding the identity of the Federalist nominees contributed to the party's poor showing in the election.Dauer 2002 159, 168, 162 General election Summary New Hampshire chose 7 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.
