Bruce Ackerman and David Fontana have written, “How Jefferson Counted Himself In; Something was funny about the Georgia ballot during the 1800 election. Did Thomas Jefferson act properly in making himself President in 1801? A historical detective story.” This appears in the March 2004 issue of The Atlantic, beginning at page 84. (It is not available online for nonsubscribers.) A longer version of the article will appear in the Virginia Law Review. The article is of more than historical interest, as the end of the article makes clear. A must read.
