Data SourcesNorth Carolina Journal 9/3/1798. Dubin has rather different numbers for this race but the same source. I am not sure why this is the case, since the county returns also total up to these numbers.
DescriptionIn my research, I indicated that this election was held on 8/10/1798. Dubin dates it to 8/16/1798. I have not had an opportunity to verify which date is correct.

The Philadelphia newspaper Carey's United States' Recorder stated on 8/11/1798 that the election was scheduled for 8/9/1798.
