The 1804 Election's over, and here are the results:

Note: From this point on, only option may be picked. Therefore, to compare pre-1804 total votes to post-1804 total votes, slash the pre-1804 total votes by half.

1804:
Thomas Jefferson, George Clinton (Democratic-Republican) 24 - 59%
Charles Cotesworth Pinckney, Rufus King (Federalist) 17 - 41%
(Total votes: 73)

New election now - 1808! (Qelmar must be so happy!)

Second times the charm for Pickney!
repeal the embargo act of 1807! Help our merchants!

Why do you guys like this Pinckney so much, rather than the founding father James Madison?

[Paberia]

I vote Madison.

[Quasi-Stellar Star Civilizations]

Pinckney for the win.

[Paberia]

Guys I have a solution for this problem, we elect Pinckney, then in 1810 (halfway through his presidency), he gets assassinated and Madison becomes the new president until 1812, that way both of them get to be president

[Ottomahn Empire]

Pinckney now! Pinckey now! He's got a plan, he's shown us how!
Also, nixon now in 1960!

If we elect Pinckney, and he gets assassinated, his VP, Rufus King, will take over.
Regardless, no one can get assassinated in this game, and I already said I'm not changing the timeline.

I'm a big fan of Hamiltonian political philosophy and Hamiltonian economics, so Pinckney ftw!

Or, at least until La Xinga gets his friends to vote-raid in favor of Madison. Kidding!

I just post the GCR RMBs when there's a tie! I don't tell them who to vote for! Usually, in fact, they troll me by continuing the tie!

I know, I would never accuse you of anything. A little light-hearted joking never hurt anyone!

I had this teacher who was an absolute simp for James Madison. Every time he typed out his name on a document or something he would use a very fancy font.

My AP U.S. History and AP Government teacher loved Teddy Roosevelt.

Why Not to Vote Madison

The Democratic-Republicans are ruining this great nation with their embargo, which has hurt the US more than Britain and France.

They also rewarded blatant speculation in the Yazoo land scandal through handouts to speculators.

But perhaps worst of all, they added Ohio to the Union! Ohio! One day, it will destroy us all.

Reasons to vote Federalist:
Hamilton wanted the President to hold unlimited power for life. Hamilton also said that the greatest man who ever lived was Julius Caesar. Do you get the idea that the character of Hamilton in the musical took a few creative liberties? I don’t think Hamilton was a rapper

[Qelmar]

Vote Pinckney because Ohio MUST be eliminated, at any cost.

Now I don’t know about the rest of you, but these federalists are starting to sound a bit like monarchists, no? Think about it, the love of the industrialist elites ( or should I say, industrial aristocracy) seems exactly like the policies a monarchist would advocate for. I mean for god’s sake, one of their candidates last names is literally king! Now, that being said, there are a few things I like about them, their government restructuring sounds very practical, however, I disagree with everything else. They like to talk about the merchants so much, completely and utterly forgetting about the peasantry and farmers! This anti-rural sentiment and discrimination against hard working farmers and slaves is the real reason that the federalists hate Ohio. Also, Hamilton’s favorite dish is corn on the cob, hypocrite much Alex?

Yeah, I’m a monarchist. Why do you think I support the Federalists? Also, I’m an agrarian Southerner, which means I should support the DR party

Federalist American System(economic plan, tariffs, internal improvements) is superior also
