Delaware cast three electoral votes for the Federalist candidate Rufus King over the Democratic-Republican candidate James Monroe. These electors were elected by the Delaware General Assembly, the state legislature, rather than by popular vote. However one of the four electors did not end up casting their vote. The three electoral votes for Vice president were also not cast for King's running mate John E. Howard, but for Federalist Robert Goodloe Harper from Maryland.[1]
