[1]Massachusetts law required a majority to win; no candidate was elected.
[2]"On Wednesday last, the Justices of this County convened for the purpose of counting the Votes for County Register. The whole number was 2482--necessary to make a choice, 1243." Eastern Argus (Portland, ME). April 20, 1804.
[3]"The votes from Freeport, Raymond, Poland, Pejepscot, Harpswell, Sumner, Dixfield, and Buckfield, on account of irregularity in the return--(some not being signed by the Selectmen, and in some cases the warrants not being returned, and in others there being a defect in both these respects) were not counted. The state of these votes, had they been received, would not have made any difference in the result; the amount of them being as follows, viz. For Gardner Goold, 162; A.R. Giddinge, 116; Elias Merrill, 98; Thomas B. Wait, 77; Isaac Gage, 44; Stephen Waite, 41; Isaac Adams, 17; Joseph C. Boyd, 11; Ebenezer Mayo, 8; Levi Cutter, 4; Geo. E. Vaughan, 3."
