This Website from the Library of Congress features materials drawn from the American Memory's A Century of Lawmaking for a New Nation: US Congressional Documents and Debates 1774-1873 (see the March 20, 1998 Scout Report). Links are provided to substantial search results from the parent site for key events and topics, such as contested elections, electoral votes, the President-elect, the certification in Congress of the first electoral college's balloting -- which elected George Washington over John Adams by a vote of 69 to 34, and more. Also featured here are links to Today in History Webpages from the LOC that focus on other events associated with presidential elections and the electoral college, including the observance of the first uniform election day on November 7, 1848 in accordance with congressional legislation passed earlier that year.
