Electoral Vote Record From Washington to Van Buren
A long list of presidential electoral votes from 1798 to 1836 is presented with notes on unanimous elections and miscounts. The piece cites a Senate document of 1835 and discusses discrepancies in earlier summaries, naming figures for Washington, Adams, Jefferson, Madison, and others, plus notes on state ratifications and non-voting states. It then shifts to commentary on native grapes, Mormon settlements at Nauvoo, and a travelogue segment describing interactions with Joseph Smith and artifacts in his home.
