View attachment 353205 Election of 1790 Thomas Jefferson (I-VA): 53.40% John Adams (A-MA)1: 32.89% Alexander Hamilton (H-NY)2: 13.71%
The election of 1790, the nations first election, would go smoothly despite the relatively tense race that preceded it. Once news of the election results got out, it is said that John Adams invited both Thomas Jefferson and Alexander Hamilton to a dinner at his residence out of goodwill. At the dinner, Adams congratulated Jefferson on his victory and gave the nations first concession speech.
"On this night, I would like to admit my defeat to Mister Jefferson. He was truly a worthy opponent, and I wish him my genuine best in his upcoming term as our nations first Prime Minister. God be with you, Prime Minister Jefferson"
Thomas Jefferson would begin his first term in one weeks time, beginning on September 8th, 1790. He now anxiously awaited the results of the Senatorial election, curious as to who he would soon be working with as the nations first Senate President.
1) Due to the lack of formal political parties, Adams ran as an "Adamsite"
2) Likewise, Hamilton ran as "Hamiltonian"

Senate results should be up soon! I am simply going to be posting a parliamentary composition chart as I cannot find congressional district maps of the 17 and 1800s
