Popular vote for President.

Previous to 1824 no returns were preserved of the popular vote for President, for the reason that in the earier elections the legislatures of the different States chose the Presidential electors. Even as late as 1824 six States—viz., Delaware, Georgia, Louisiana, New York, South Carolina, and Vermont, thus voted, and one State, South Carolina, so continued to vote until 1868. See Presidential elections.
