A presidential election was held in Connecticut in 1804, as part of the 1804 United States presidential election. The Connecticut General Assembly chose nine electors,[3] all Federalists,[4] who voted for former U.S. minister to France Charles Cotesworth Pinckney and former U.S. minister to Great Britain Rufus King.[5]
Pinckney lost the national election in a landslide to the Democratic-Republican incumbent president, Thomas Jefferson. Connecticut was one of two states to back the losing Federalist candidates, in addition to Delaware and two single-member districts in Maryland.[6]
