1804 United States presidential election in New York

election in New York

A presidential election was held in New York on November 9, 1804, as part of the 1804 United States presidential election. The Democratic-Republican Party's ticket of incumbent president Thomas Jefferson and former New York governor George Clinton defeated the Federalist Party's ticket in the New York State Legislature.

Jefferson won the national election in a landslide over the de facto Federalist candidate, Charles Cotesworth Pinckney. Although a clandestine gathering of Federalist members of Congress had nominated Pinckney in February, the Federalist electors were formally unpledged. The Federalist press attempted to sow discord in the Democratic-Republican ranks by encouraging the electors to vote for Clinton for president, rather than for Jefferson as pledged, but was not successful in obtaining defections.
