Notes:

[1]Elected.
[2]"Extract of a letter from a member of the legislature to the editor, dated Lancaster, Feb. 19, 1811: 'Agreeable to arrangements previously made, the democratic members of both branches of the Legislature, together with the democratic delegates from several districts, which are represented by federalist[s], met in convention, in the Representative Chamber, at five o'clock on yesterday afternoon, and proceeded to the choice of Chairman and Secretaries.~ P.C. Lane was called to the chair, John Weber appointed by the chairman to act as secretary, and Jonathan Roberts assistant secretary. Mr. Bard nominated Simon Snyder, as a candidate to be elected to the Governmental chair, at the next general election. There was no other person put in nomination. The votes that were given on this occasion were one hundred and one.'" The Crawford Weekly Messenger (Meadville, PA). March 4, 1811.
[3]"The federalist[s] having taken up no candidate for governor afforded some little amusement to the friends of fun. It was not the wish of the Federalists to vote any governor's ticket. But to prevent all disputes with learned constitution-mongers and their adherents, the governor's tickets were printed with a blank for the name. Those who did not choose to vote it in that way wrote what name they pleased on the blank. The judges having agreed to consider all our tickets as 'blank and scattering' we are unable to obtain a list. In Lancaster township [Lancaster County] William Bausman was nearly equal to Simon Snyder but governor Blank beat them both." Lancaster Journal (Lancaster, PA). October 18, 1811.
[4]"[Richard Folwell] was the rallying point for the profligate and the base of the Federalists and Old School." The Democratic Press (Philadelphia, PA). Ocotber 12, 1811.
[5]"The speaker informed the house, that the members of the house attended with the members of the senate in the Chamber of the house of representatives, at the opening and publishing the returns of the votes for governor of the Commonwealth. Mr. Duncan~teller on the part of this house reported the list of votes, as declared by the spearker of the senate, viz: Simon Snyder 52,319; William Tilghman 3,609; Scattering 1,675; Total 57,603. The return for Allegheny County did not appear to be forwarded. By the above return it appears that governor Snyder is re-elected by a majority of 48,710 over chief justice Tilghman and a majority of 47,035 over all opposing candidates. To the above majorty, add 1,652 votes given in Allegheny County in favor of Simon Snyder." The Reporter (Washington, PA). January 13, 1812.
[6]...The return from Allegheny County, which gave Mr. Snyder 1,652 votes, appears not to have been forwarded." The Crawford Weekly Messenger (Meadville, PA). January 8, 1812. This is why numerous sources report Simon Snyder with 52,319 total votes.
[7]In many sources William Tilghman is reported with 3,609 or 3,610 [this discrepancy is caused by 1 often unreported vote in Washington County] total votes for governor, but The True American and Commercial Advertiser (Philadelphia, PA) and the United States' Gazette (Philadelphia, PA), both from October 22, explain that 5 votes initially reported as "scattering" were actually for William Tilghman, making Tilghman's total 3615 total votes.
[8]The Adams Centinel, which lists the votes by district, does not attribute the scattering and blank votes.
[9]There were 11 scattering or blank votes.
[10]There were 6 scattering or blank votes.
[11]There were 3 scattering or blank votes.
[12]There were 106 scattering or blank votes.
[13]There were 8 scattering or blank votes.
[14]Versailles township is also referred to as McKeesport.
[15]Der Readinger Adler (Reading, PA) from October 15 lists Simon Snyder with 2893 total votes but individual totals add up to 2892 total votes.
[16]Clearfield County voted with Centre County in the 1811 Pennsylvania Gubernatorial Election. Sources that report the total of the two counties together list Simon Snyder with 1282 votes in Centre County. The Republican Argus (Northumberland, PA) from October 23 lists Simon Snyder with 1220 votes in Centre County, meaning that he earned 62 votes in Clearfield County.
[17]The Crawford Weekly Messenger (Meadville, PA) from October 16 and The Western Press from October 23 list Simon Snyder with 643 total votes, but this is presumed to be a typesetting error because the individual township totals add up to 543 total votes.
[18]There were two sets of returns for Cumberland County elections reported. The first election certificate lists Simon Snyder with 2099 votes. The second election cerificate only had the returns for Governor, State Senator, and Assembly and lists Simon Snyder with 2299 votes. It appears this was a corrected return and is supported by additional sources including the 1811 Journal of the Pennsylvania House of Representatives.
[19]Returns are listed by township in The Franklin Repository (Chambersburg, PA) from October 15.
[20]Votes from Jefferson County are included in the reported vote totals of Indiana County.
[21]In The True American and Commercial Advertiser (Philadelphia, PA) from October 22, Benjamin Grimler is listed with 18 votes which is most likely a typesetting error.
[22]Of the 1269 "blank and scattering" votes, 41 votes were for Governor Blank.
[23]Several sources list a total of 1315 "blank and scattering" votes, but The True American and Commercial Advertiser (Philadelphia, PA) and the United States' Gazette (Philadelphia, PA), both from October 22, provide further detail which attributes some of the "blank and scattering" votes to William Tilghman, Edward Tilghman, Benjamin Grimler, Henry Grimler, George Bridge, Christian Carpenter, Mr. Nauman, John Aughe, William Reichendach, John Haffman, Jo. Leib, Mr. Schroff, and James Molson.
[24]"In Lancaster township [Lancaster Borough] William Bausman was nearly equal to Simon Snyder but governor Blank beat them both." The True American and Commercial Advertiser (Philadelphia, PA). October 22, 1811. United States' Gazette (Philadelphia, PA). October 22, 1811."
[25]"In Mount Joy we are told that the wise and moderate Mr. Michael Coble made a pretty good run." The True American and Commercial Advertiser (Philadelphia, PA). October 22, 1811. United States' Gazette (Philadelphia, PA). October 22, 1811."
[26]The results from Warwick township are published in the Lancaster Journal (Lancaster, PA) from October 18. The other township returns are published in The Intelligencer, and Weekly Advertiser (Lancaster, PA) from October 19, however The Intelligencer, and Weekly Advertiser (Lancaster, PA) does not mention Warwick townshiIt appears that the votes from Warwick may have been included with totals from another township or populated place in The Intelligencer, and Weekly Advertiser (Lancaster, PA) returns.
[27]The Intelligencer, and Weekly Advertiser (Lancaster, PA) from October 19 attributes these votes to a populated place called Erb's.
[28]Rush is also known as Rindaw township.
[29]Votes reported in Lycoming County include the votes of McKean, Potter, and Tioga Counties.
[30]Several sources report 65 "blank and scattering" votes in Northampton County. Original Election Certificates explain that some of these votes were cast for Richard Folwell, Leonard Nagle, Jacob Mack, Jacob Weygandt, Edward Tilghman, and Samuel Sitgreaves.
[31]The True American and Commercial Advertiser (Philadelphia, PA) from October 10 lists Simon Snyder with 1332 votes which is presumably a typesetting error.
[32]"In the city of Philadelphia 'an odd fish' by the name of Richard Folwell had several hundred votes for governor." Lancaster Journal (Lancaster, PA). October 18, 1811.
[33]The Intelligencer, and Weekly Advertiser (Lancaster, PA) from October 19 lists Simon Snyder with 2299 votes.
[34]This district is also referred to as Bustleton.
[35]The Democratic Press (Philadelphia, PA) from October 12 attributes these same votes to Frankford.
[36]Vote totals for Venango County includes the votes from Warren County.
