Yes, There is a good summary on Wikipedia. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_presidential_election,_1789 and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_presidential_election,_1792 In the 1789 election, each elector cast 2 votes for the president and vice president. George Washington received a vote from EVERY elector for a unanimous election. John Adams received the majority of the Vice President votes and thus became vice president. In 1792 George Washington also received 100% of the Presidential votes, becoming the first and only president to ever receive 100% of the electoral votes.
