ELECTORS OF PRESIDENT AND VICE PRESIDENT IN KENTUCKY
FROM THE TIME OF HER ADMISSION INTO THE UNION AS A SEPARATE STATE
From: HISTORY OF KENTUCKY Allen, 1892

page 163, 164
At the first election under the Constitution, Kentucky, as a State, had no voice. George Washington was elected, by a unanimous vote of the Electors, President of the United States, and John Adams Vice President by a plurality of one vote over all other of his opponents. The Constitution then provided that he who received the highest electoral vote should be President, and the next highest Vice President. But at the fourth Presidential election, in 1801, Thomas Jefferson and Aaron Burr having each received an equal number of votes, the choice devolved upon the House of Representatives. The House having balloted at itervals for seven consecutive days, on the afternoon of the 17th day of February, 1802, on the 36th ballot, Thomas Jefferson was declared duly elected President of the United States. This result was occasioned by Delaware and South Carolina voting blank, while the votes of Vermont and Maryland were given for Mr. Jefferson. The Vice Presidency, as a matter of course, devolved on Aaron Burr.

After this, the Constitution was so amended as to provide that Electors, in casting their votes, should vote for President and Vice President separately, so as to avoid in future a recurrence of the difficulty.
