The votes for Thomas Jefferson and Aaron Burr being equal, the election devolved on the House of Representatives, wherein, on the 36th ballot, the votes of ten States were given for Jefferson, four States for Burr, and two States gave blank votes.

After this election the Constitution was amended, so that each Presidential Elector chosen by the States voted for President and Vice President separately, instead of the original mode of voting for two persons, without designating which was his choice for President and Vice President. The person receiving the greatest number of votes, by the original mode, if a majority, was to be President, and the next highest Vice President. When no choice was made by the Electors, the House of Representatives decided the question.
