Journal of New York State Electoral College, 1856-1972.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/122488405

The volumes contain proceedings, voting results, receipts for packages containing electoral ballets, list of electors, printed instructions, number of votes cast for electors, and photographs. The records in this series document not only how many electoral ballots were cast for the offices of president and vice president of the United States but also how many votes each elector received after they were chosen by the general public. The proceedings record when, where and at what time the college met as well as decisions reached. The receipts and instructions are ordinary in nature and record the same information each time (i.e., ballots were picked up and sent to the Senate in Washington). The journals are arranged in chronological order by presidential election. They are not indexed. Volume one covers 1856-1893 and Volume two the years 1896 - 1972.
