George Washington (No Party-Virginia) 1789, 1792 and James Monroe (Democratic Republican-Virginia) 1820 100% Popular Vote Margin 4. Thomas Jefferson (Democratic Republican-Virginia) 1804 45.6% Popular Vote Margin 5. James Monroe (Democratic Republican-Virginia) 1816 37.3% Popular Vote Margin 6. James Madison (Democratic Republican-Virginia) 1808 32.3% Popular Vote Margin ... 11. Thomas Jefferson (Democratic Republican-Virginia) 1800 22.8% Popular Vote Margin
In the early elections, not many states counted popular vote, so what you have written seems meaningless. Meaningless perhaps, but still scientific. I do not intend to set some kind of political message with this, just give factual information in a rank format. Previously in this thread I have emphasized that some of the earlier elections were lopsided due to (as you just mentioned) few states going with the counted popular vote. This thread isn't here to discuss "if everything else was even" but the cold hard facts. In real life only a few states had the popular vote, thus their votes are overrepresented in early elections (especially 1800). However that doesn't change the fact that Jefferson won 61% of the reported (at least according to wikipedia) vote. Again if you at all doubt my intentions for posting this just reread the thread title. "Useless Information" is still information. If it is hard for you to entertain my use of hard numbers then just read the list as if elections before 1824 don't count.
