Maine voted in its first ever United States presidential election, having become the 23rd state by splitting offMassachusetts on March 15 of the same year. The state cast its nine electoral votes for theDemocratic Republican candidate and incumbent presidentJames Monroe, who won the state by a margin of 91.56%.
Effectively, the 1820 presidential election was an election with no campaign, since there was no serious opposition to Monroe and Tompkins. In fact, Monroe won all the electoral votes, barring one from neighboringNew Hampshire, which was cast forSecretary of StateJohn Quincy Adams.
