Notes:
[1]Vermont law required a majority to elect for the U.S. House of Representatives. A third ballot would be held on March 25, 1805.
[2]The Official Certified Results list Samuel C. Crafts with 38 votes and Nathaniel Niles with 5 votes but only 19 of Crafts' votes and 3 of Niles' votes were identified among the scattering votes.
[3]"By the foregoing statement, it appears that no choice has been effected; that the Hon. Mr. Chamberlain had six votes more than Mr. Fisk; but of those legally certified and returned, Mr. Fisk had three more than Mr. Chamberlain. There were forty six scattering votes; of these Mr. Crafts had thirty eight, and Mr. Niles, five; the remainder for three different persons." The Green Mountain Patriot (Peacham, VT), January 15, 1805.
