New York failed to appoint its allotted eight electors in time and cast no electoral votes. North Carolina and Rhode Island did not vote because they had not yet ratified the Constitution. For all intents and purposes, Washington was unopposed for election as President. Under the system then in place, votes for Vice President were not differentiated from votes for President. The runner-up for President became the Vice-President, regardless of political similarities or differences from the President.
