America's first presidential election took place on February 4, 1789. It was left up to each state to determine how to choose its electors. Of the 13 states, only 10 cast electoral votes, and of those 10, only 5 held a general popular election for president.

First, did they actually vote "for president" similar to today, or for electors?

Second, what were the results in those 5 states?
