A New Nation Votes: American Election Returns, 1787-1825 [http://elmer.lib.tufts.edu:8080/aas_portal/index.xq] - A New Nation Votes is a searchable collection of election returns from the earliest years of American democracy. The data were compiled by Philip Lampi. The American Antiquarian Society and Tufts University Digital Collections and Archives have mounted it online for you with funding from the National Endowment for the Humanities.
The data is very diverse and involves all offices from the Federal to the local levels: this includes Presidential elections, Town clerk elections and everything in between!
The Sources The bulk of the election data came from contemporary sources such as newspapers and original election ballots. Other sources include County histories that were published in the 19th century.
