		This election resulted in the only instance in which a president and vice president were not of the same party.

	1796: The First Real Election
		Although it was clear during the election campaign that Jefferson was the presidential candidate and Burr the vice presidential, Burr refused to concede, forcing a vote in the House of Representatives that brought Jefferson into office.
		In an increasingly democratic United States, the election of 1796 represented the last great hurrah for the Federalist Party.
		And in a sense, Adams won the election in the South, having secured nine votes in Maryland, North Carolina, and Virginia.

	SSHA Political Network News
		During the presidential elections of 1796 and 1800, members of the national Congress met unofficially in caucus in order to solidify support for candidates for the Presidential office.
		By 1796 the caucus system was in use in every state of the Union.(2) In addition to nominating candidates for state offices, legislative caucuses soon undertook the additional responsibility of nominating electoral tickets in those states where presidential electors were chosen by the public.
		In the decades before the election of 1824, caucuses had almost everywhere been relied upon by the Democratic-Republican party as a method of election management and as an agent of "party" regularity.

	Presidential and Congressional Election Returns
		Proceedings of elections for U.S. senators by the General Assembly may be found in the journals of the Virginia House of Delegates and Senate.
		After the 1796 election, this system was abandoned and the voters at large chose the entire slate of electors.
		The existence of the carefully preserved historical election returns for the offices of president and vice president—versus the lack of other federal election returns—is an indication of the significance attached to this office.

	U.S. presidential election maps - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Maps depicting results of the 2000 election used blue to represent states supporting Democrat Al Gore and red for those supporting Republican George W. Bush.
		The exceptional bitterness of that election ingrained the red state vs. blue state divide in public consciousness, and since then red has been closely associated with Republicans and blue with Democrats.
		Neither major party was historically associated with any particular color; network television electoral maps alternated colors to avoid the appearance of bias.

	1796: The First Real Election
		Indeed, the "electoral college" plan worked well during the first two presidential elections in 1788 and 1792, when every elector had cast one of his ballots for Washington.
		By March 1796, when Washington finally told his vice president that he would not seek reelection, Adams had decided to run for the office of president.
		He foresaw three possible outcomes to the election: he might garner the most votes, with Jefferson running second; Jefferson might win and John Jay of New York, long a congressman and diplomat, could finish second; or Jefferson might be elected president, while he was himself reelected vice president.

		The Presidential election in 1796 was a vehement struggle by the Federalists and Republicans for political ascendency and the control of the government.
		It was the wish of a majority of the people that Washington should serve a third term, but he positively refused; and in the fall of 1796, that majority gave their votes for electors known to be favorable to John Adams for President of the republic.
		During that time the government was put in motion with great sagacity on the part of the President and his cabinet; its financial, domestic, and foreign policy was established, and its strength was so fully tested by immoderate strains, that even Hamilton began to think its powers sufficient to perform its required functions.
