|[[DeWitt Clinton]]{{efn|group="Presidential elections table"|While commonly labeled as the Federalist candidate, Clinton technically ran as a Democratic-Republican and was not nominated by the Federalist Party itself, the latter simply deciding not to field a candidate. This did not prevent endorsements from state Federalist parties (such as in Pennsylvania), but he received the endorsement from the New York state Democratic-Republicans as well. The Virginia state Federalist Party rejected the Clinton–Ingersoll ticket and instead nominated Rufus King for President and [[William Richardson Davie]] for Vice President—this ticket earned 27% of the state vote and 2% of the national vote.}}

=== Congressional representation ===
{{see also|Party divisions of United States Congresses}}

The affiliation of many Congressmen in the earliest years is an assignment by later historians. The parties were slowly coalescing groups; at first there were many independents. Cunningham noted that only about a quarter of the House of Representatives up until 1794 voted with Madison as much as two-thirds of the time and another quarter against him two-thirds of the time, leaving almost half as fairly independent.<ref>Cunningham (1957), 82.</ref>
