A New Nation Votes: American Election Returns, 1787-1825

Compiled by Philip J. Lampi over the past four decades, the A New Nation Votes collection is the richest and most complete set of early American election returns in existence. Lampi has collected varying amounts of presidential, congressional, gubernatorial, state executive, and state legislative election returns for all twenty-four states in the Union by 1825. Funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities, the American Antiquarian Society (AAS) together with the DCA are digitizing these materials so they can be freely accessed.
