- Description:
- Georgia Senate resolution empowering the Executive, or Governor, to fill the vacancy in the case of the death, resignation or failure of presidential electors to attend previous to 11:00 p.m. December 2, 1800.
In the 1800 election, Democratic Republican candidates Thomas Jefferson and Aaron Burr each received 73 electoral votes, with Federalist candidates receiving fewer electoral votes, which sent the election to the House of Representatives. The votes of Georgia's electors reflect the national vote, with four each going to Jefferson and Burr. Jefferson was elected President on February 17, 1801 after 36 ballots were cast in the U.S. House . - Metadata URL:
