The 1820 United States presidential election in New York took place between November 1 to December 6, 1820, as part of the 1820 United States presidential election. The state legislature chose 29 representatives, or electors to the Electoral College, who voted for President and Vice President.
During this election, New York cast its 29 electoral votes to Democratic Republican candidate and incumbent President James Monroe. [1]
Effectively, the 1820 presidential election was an election with no campaign, since there was no serious opposition to Monroe and Tompkins.[ citation needed ] In fact, they won all the electoral votes barring one from New Hampshire, which was cast for Secretary of State John Quincy Adams. [1]
