  United States presidential election, 1800 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The United States presidential election of 1800, sometimes referred to as the “Revolution of 1800”, was a realigning election in which Thomas Jefferson and his running-mate Aaron Burr defeated incumbent President John Adams.

As a result of the problems arising from the election, the Twelfth Amendment to the United States Constitution was ratified in 1804, providing that electors make a distinct choice between their selections for President and Vice President.

 Jeff Pasley, A Revolution of 1800 After All
The view of 1800 as a revolution in American political development more often appears in political science and in popular accounts than in recent historiography, but it is a view that (perhaps ironically) more closely follows the primary sources than the common historians' emphasis on the myth of the Revolution of 1800.
The election of the man perceived as "The People's Friend" gave a strong dose of legitimacy to democratic values and procedures, and in some measures brought more democracy in its wake than was actually practiced in 1800, when the presidential electors of all but four states were selected by the state legislatures.
The average total vote in assembly elections, which should roughly approximate the number of individual voters, increased every election (from 2,894 in 1800 to 3,568 in 1804), in a period when the county's population was actually declining.

Repeat: this book is not just about the election but is a political history of the US from the Constitution (1787) through the election of 1800, with a chapter devoted to Jefferson's suceeding first term (1801-1804).

One of the great joys of this books is that it is not strictly about the election of 1800 but, rather, about the decade that preceded it and resulted in the nail biter showdown between Jefferson and Adams (and then in bizarre twist betweem Jefferson and Burr).
