1808: ELECTORAL COLLEGE MAP | MAKE YOUR OWN MAP
  | James Madison George Clinton / John Langdon Party: DEMOCRATIC-REPUBLICAN Presidential Electoral Votes: 122 ☆ more information ☆ ★ Some sources say Madison received 124,732 votes for president, 64.7% of the total. However, national popular vote totals in 1808 were not necessarily indicative of the will of the people. In seven states the legislature decided who was awarded their electoral votes. Only ten states let the people choose, and not every candidate was running in every state. Even then there were significant restrictions on who was allowed to cast a ballot. | ||||||

In early elections, the states used several different methods to choose electors. In some, the state legislature picked the electors. In others, the people chose the electors directly (via a winner-take-all statewide at-large vote, a system where voters in districts chose individual electors, or a combination of the two).
State-by-state popular vote data is not available for early elections due to a lack of reliable and uniform data. Most historians use 1824 as the starting date for those numbers because of, what a Congressional Quarterly publication calls, the "availability, accessibility, and quality" of the returns since then..
