>To 104 - Yes, I am aware of that. I was asking you to elaborate on how Jefferson was elected ‘due to the efforts of Hamilton’.

By his efforts on the Representatives in the House while they were voting... it is conceivable that they would have elected Burr had he not. ...perhaps I should have prefaces “due to the efforts” with ‘partially.’

OK, I'm recalling something of Hamilton using his influence to sway certain congressmen to Jefferson, thus away from Burr and how ironic that was since Jefferson and Hamilton weren't exactly best friends.

I'll have to go back to the Jefferson bios and re-read that episode.

Thank you, OWS.
