Data SourcesThese numbers come from Burnham's reporting of the official returns in the state archives, which credit Taylor with one write-in vote in addition to his highest Elector, who received 30,482 votes. CQ in Presidential Elections Since 1789 gives the vote of the slates and lumps the four write-ins together as scattering.
