Mapping Early American Elections


2nd Congress: South Carolina 1790

South Carolina elected three Federalists and two Anti-Federalists to the Second Congress.

Most of South Carolina’s parishes cannot be mapped because there are insufficient returns at the parish level.

South Carolina used a district system for electing members to Congress.

District Candidate Party Vote Percentage Elected
1 William Smith Federalist unopposed
2 Robert Barnwell Federalist unopposed
3 Daniel Huger Federalist unopposed
4 Thomas Sumter Anti-Federalist unopposed
5 Thomas Tudor Tucker Anti-Federalist unopposed

In most cases, only candidates who received more than 5 percent of the vote in a district are reported. Other candidates are reported as a group, but only if they in aggregate received more than 5 percent of the vote. In addition, percentages for each district may not add up to 100 percent due to rounding. The term Dissenting Republican includes various breakaway factions of the Democratic-Republican party.
