Georgia cast eight electoral votes for the Democratic-Republican candidate James Monroe over the Federalist candidate Rufus King. The electoral votes for Vice president were cast for Monroe's running mate Daniel D. Tompkins from New York. These electors were elected by the Georgia General Assembly, the state legislature, rather than by popular vote.[1]
