During this election, New Jersey cast its eight electoral votes to Independent Democratic Republican and Federalist supported candidate DeWitt Clinton.
Notes
- While commonly labeled as the Federalist candidate, Clinton technically ran as a Democratic-Republican and was not nominated by the Federalist party itself, the latter simply deciding not to field a candidate. This did not prevent endorsements from state Federalist parties (such as in Pennsylvania), but he received the endorsement from the New York state Democratic-Republicans as well.
