Apresidential election was held inNew York on November 8, 1816 as part of the1816 United States presidential election.[1] TheDemocratic-Republican ticket of theU.S. secretary of stateJames Monroe and thegovernor of New YorkDaniel D. Tompkins received 29 votes fromelectors chosen by theNew York General Assembly.[2] TheFederalist Party failed to nominate a presidential candidate,[3] butunpledged electors received 42 votes from Federalist legislators.[2] Monroe won the national election handily with 183 electoral votes.[4]
The seniorU.S. senator from New YorkRufus King had been considered a potential challenger to Monroe, but the Federalists abandoned plans for his nomination after King lost the1816 New York gubernatorial election to Tompkins. Thereafter, King was not considered a presidential candidate and made no attempt to campaign.[5] He received 34 votes notwithstanding from unpledged electors chosen by the legislatures ofConnecticut,Delaware, andMassachusetts.[4] The Federalist Party would never again contest a presidential election, earning King the distinction of being remembered as the last Federalist presidential contender.[3]
