Electoral Vote survivor - Aries Tribe ♈ - 7 survivors merged into Spring tribe

[True Federalist (진정한 연방 주의자)]

There are 204 persons who have received Electoral Votes in U.S. Presidential Elections.  This contest will select who among them is worthy of being the survivor. Rules are explained in full in the organization thread.

To begin with there are twelve tribes of seventeen members each.  The tribes are named after Zodiac signs, but people have been placed into them randomly, and not because of their birth sign. The first three tribes to vote will be the Aries, Taurus, and Gemini tribes. After 5 rounds, the Aries, Taurus, and Gemini tribes will be merged into the Spring tribe.  The Spring tribe will later merge with the Autumn tribe to form the Equinox tribe which will later merge with the Solstice tribe to form the final tribe.

Each survivor begins with a number of safety points and can gain safety points during the contest,  Safety points are used as the first tiebreaker if there is a tie.  The members of the Aries tribe are, along with their safety points and the elections in which they won electoral college votes are:

John C. Calhoun [2 safety points, VP (1824, 1828)] eliminated ROUND 2
Alfred Colquitt [1 safety point, VP (1872)] eliminated ROUND 3

No one bothered to try to keep John C. Calhoun this round, so the war hawk has seceded from this survivor with 27 points.  Calhoun was the last person to be Vice President under two different Presidents and the first to resign the Vice Presidency.

While he received only 1 electoral vote for Vice President in 1872, Willis Machen did serve as President, President of the Legislative Council of the Provisional Government of the Commonwealth of Kentucky that is.  With 11 eliminate votes, this ex-Confederate is not surviving this round.

With a decisive 16 votes, Alfred Colquitt is the first of the two to go in this round. This Georgian general is another of those who received electoral votes in 1872 in the wake of Horace Greeley's untimely death.

With 7 votes, just one more than his two closest competitors, Martin "Gold Spoon" Van Buren, one of the few people to receive electoral votes in three different decades, has been eliminated.

Voters in this round decided to be quite peaceable and not make any ell. Amos Ellmaker, the Anti-Masonic Vice Presidential candidate in 1832 is eliminated first.  His Congressional record is curious.  Elected to the 16th Congress from the 3rd district of Pennsylvania, he never took his seat, choosing to accept a State judgeship instead before the 1st session of the 16th Congress.  Then in 1834, he came second to James Buchanan for a Senate seat from Pennsylvania.  I think there's a what-if lurking there.  What isn't lurking are images of Amos Ellmaker.  Wikipedia doesn't have one.  Another site tried to foist off a picture of Richard Rush as Amos.  I was able to find two pictures that almost certainly are of an Amos Ellmaker, but I'm not certain that it is this Amos Ellmaker.

Senator John Sparkman of Alabama is your second choice to be eliminated.  The running mate of Adlai Stevenson II in 1952, he received not even one delegate's vote when, in an experiment not repeated since, Stevenson threw the choice of a running mate to the convention.

You have adjudged that Associate Justice James Iredell of North Carolina is to be the first to depart this round.  He was the last of original six justices of the Supreme Court to be appointed, as the sixth seat had been held vacant so as to await the admission of North Carolina to the Union.

Alfred E. Smith of New York also departs.  He is the first Catholic to be nominated for President by a major party, but not the first to be eliminated from this survivor.  Personally, I am Mad at him.  Not for anything he did politically, but because as president of Empire State Inc., he was instrumental in the construction of the ugly Empire State Building that displaced the much more graceful Chrysler Building as the tallest skyscraper.

The seven members who have survived their experience in the Aries tribe to merge into the Spring tribe are:

Henry Davis [6 safety points, VP (1904)]
Charles Fairbanks [7 safety points, VP (1904, 1916)]
James Garfield [3 safety points, P (1880)]
John Nance Garner [3 safety points, VP (1932, 1936)]
