Tennessee voted for the Democratic-Republican candidate Thomas Jefferson over Federalist candidate, John Adams, but the exact election results are unknown. Jefferson did, however, win all three electoral votes.[2]
Tennessee used an electoral district system to choose its electors, with each district electing a single elector. This is similar to the way Nebraska and Maine choose their electors in modern elections.[3]
