The Democratic-Republican electors voted solidly for Jefferson and Burr, producing a tie vote which had to be resolved in the House of Representatives. Burr had always been viewed as the Vice-Presidential candidate, but refused to withdraw, and it took 36 ballots before Jefferson was finally elected. Burr became Vice-President, but unsurprisingly was not renominated in 1804.
