A New Nation Votes is "a searchable collection of election returns from the earliest years of American democracy." Compiled by scholar and historian Phillip J. Lampi with funding from the National Endowment for the Humanities, the site can be scouted by State, Year, Office, Jurisdiction, Party, and Election Type. For instance, readers may select the state of Connecticut, which returns 243 results, and then select Connecticut 1790 Governor. Here they will find a transcribed notice that was printed in the Litchfield Monitor, in which the twelve candidates receiving the highest number of votes were elected to the Council of Assistants. In addition, readers may browse candidates in alphabetical order and learn, among many other facts, that a Mr. Garret Lacey was elected to the New Jersey Assembly in Sussex County once in 1820 and a second time in 1821. For educators looking for information about the early electoral history of the United States, this page provides many wonderful details.
