Mapping Early American Elections


4th Congress: Georgia 1795

Georgia elected two Democratic-Republicans to the Fourth Congress.

Georgia used a statewide at-large system for electing members to Congress.

District Candidate Party Vote Percentage Elected
At-large John Milledge Democratic-Republican 1,487 20.4%
At-large Abraham Baldwin Democratic-Republican 1,391 19.1%
At-large Thomas P. Carnes Federalist 1,150 15.8%
At-large Jacob B. Waldburber Federalist 1,143 15.7%
At-large James Sims Democratic-Republican 941 12.9%
At-large Francis Willis Federalist 765 10.5%
At-large Other candidates 399 5.3%

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.
