Jefferson easily wins re-election, as his running mate George Clinton no relation Wink  is elected Vice President in the first election conducted under terms of the 12th Amendment.   There is a resurgence of popular election of electors as 10 of the 16 states, including newcomer Ohio use elections.  Jefferson carries all 10 of the states, but loses two electoral districts in Maryland.

Popular Election of Electors: NH(7), MA(19), RI(4), NJ(8 ), PA(20), DE(3), MD(11), VA(24), NC(14), KY(8 ), TN(5), and OH(3), Total 126.

Legislature Chooses Electors: CT(9). NY(19), SC(10), GA(6), VT(6), Total 50.

New Hampshire 7 electors.

The D-R electors win 52.1% to 47.9%.  This is Jefferson's smallest margin.

Massachusetts 19 electors.

A fairly narrow victory for Jefferson 53.5% to 46.7% for the Federalists.  In Massachusetts proper, it is even closer, 50.6% to 49.4%, while the District of Maine is 62.8% to 37.2%.  Pinckney carries Hamden (the Connecticut valley is still a single county), Worcester, Suffolk (Boston), Dukes (Martha's Vineyard), and Cumberland (SW Maine) counties.

RHode Island 4 electors.

No Federalist votes recorded.

New Jersey 8 electors.

New Jersey chooses its electors by popular vote for the first time, with no Federalist votes recorded.

Pennsylvania 20 electors.

Almost no Federalist opposition, with 0 votes returned from some counties, and Jefferson carries Philadelphia 3,333 to 1.

Maryland 11 electors.

Maryland chooses its electors from 9 electoral districts, with 2 districts electing 2 electors.  The only two popularly elected Federalist electors are chosen from the southernmost districts (1st ED: Charles, St Mary's and a small part of Prince George's; and 9th ED: Worcester, Somerset, and part of Dorchester).

Virginia 24 electors.

No opposition to Jefferson.

North Carolina 14 electors.

North Carolina chooses its electors from 14 districts.   Most returns are lost.

Kentucky 8 electors.

Kentucky chooses 4 electors from each of two electoral districts.  Votes are cast for individual electors, so that even though all vote for Jefferson there is great variation in the support among the electors themselves:

Northern: 2,827; 1,806; 1,592; 1,267 elected, 1,185; 777; 695; etc. runnersup.

Southern: 2,253; 1,585; 1,310; 1,207 elected, (incomplete results for other candidates).

There is no indication that those not chosen as electors would have voted for Pinckney.

Tennessee 5 electors.

Tennessee uses popular election, choosing one elector from each of 5 districts.

Ohio 3 electors.

Ohio's first participation in a presidential election, results in a clear victory for Jefferson (87.3% to 12.7%)

I don't think they had a secret ballot.
