| In 1800, 138 electoral votes were available to a candidate; 70 votes were needed to secure the win. The method of choosing electors is listed below each states' name. LEG means the state legislature chose the electors. POP-AL means an at-large popular vote chose the state's electors. POP-DIS means electors were chosen by popular votes in each district of the state. In some states, a mix of these systems was used. | ||
