Mapping Early American Elections

9th Congress: Connecticut 1804

This page includes an interactive map. A text version of the same election data is available in the table below the map.

Connecticut elected seven Federalists to the Ninth Congress.

Mapping this election is not possible because of the lack of returns at the town or county level.

Connecticut used a statewide at-large method for electing members to Congress.

In 1805, a special election was held in which Federalist Timothy Pitkin, Jr. and Federalist Lewis B. Sturges were elected to replace Calvin Goddard and Roger Griswold, who both had resigned before the 9th Congress convened.

In 1806, a special election was held in which Theodore Dwight was elected to replace John C. Smith, who had resigned from office.

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.
