[2]In choosing a United States Senator, each branch of the legislature voted separately. For a candidate to be elected, it was required that he receive a majority in both the State Senate and Assembly. If that did not happen, then both branches would convene together and, in a joint ballot, choose from between the two highest candidates. In this election, no choice was made between the two branches, necessitating a joint ballot.
