User:Alekksandr/United States presidential election in Delaware,1789

Counties
All three of Delaware's Counties returned electors who voted for George Washington as President and John Jay as Vice-President.

Electors
The voters of Delaware cast their ballots for electors: representatives to the Electoral College. Delaware was allocated 3 electors because it had 1 congressional district and 2 senators. All candidates who appear on the ballot or qualify to receive write-in votes must submit a list of 5 electors, who pledge to vote for their candidate and his or her running mate. Whoever wins the majority of votes in the state is awarded 2 electoral votes, and the other 3 are allocated via the individual results of the congressional districts. Their chosen electors then vote for President and Vice President. Although electors are pledged to their candidate and running mate, they are not obligated to vote for them. An elector who votes for someone other than his or her candidate is known as a faithless elector.

The electors of each state met on February 4th, 1789 to cast their votes for President and Vice President. The Electoral College itself never meets as one body. Instead the electors from each state met in their respective capitols.

The following were the 5 members of the Electoral College from the state. 4 of the electors were pledged to John McCain and Sarah Palin; 2 at large, 1 for each of the 1st and 3rd Congressional districts. 1 was pledged to Barack Obama and Joe Biden:
 * Charles Thone is an elector for Nebraska's 1st congressional district pledged to John McCain and Sarah Palin.
