Notes

^ Important. County results are not indicative of the final election result. Full county results appear to be lost or missing for this election.^[1]
^ Partial results are taken from the highest voted Federalist, and Democratic-Republican elector for each county.^[1]
^ Partial swing data only compares Democratic-Republican performance to previous Anti-Federalist performance. The Democratic-Republican party is considered to be the direct evolution of the Anti-Federalist coalition.^[2]
^ Results are taken from the highest voted Federalist, and Democratic-Republican elector for each district.^[1]
^ Endorsed Thomas Jefferson over Alexander Hamilton when parties first began to evolve under Washington's second term. Descibed as being a becoming a "staunch anti-Federalist" as "time went on". Described as becoming more "radical" in his political views, and being "fiercly" opposed to John Adams when he began his first presidential term.^[5]
^ Early member of the emerging republican party, listed as being a "candidate of the republicans" in 1794. By 1794, the republican party was described as being just then "greatly in the minority".^[3]
