Thomas Pinckney of South Carolina, John Adams' running mate in the U.S. Presidential Election of 1796, received 59 votes (42.8%) in the presidential election. In the first four U.S. presidential elections, 1789, 1792, 1796 and 1800, there was no separate vice presidential election. Each elector cast two votes for president, and whoever received the second-highest number of votes became Vice President. Although Adams won the election, his opponent, Thomas Jefferson, received more votes than his running mate, so Jefferson became Vice President instead of Pinckney.
