The first U.S. presidential election in 1789 engaged only 28,000 voters, and George Washington won without campaigning, securing a universal mandate with all 69 electoral votes.
John Adams, coming in second with 34 electoral votes, became the first vice president, while Washington ran as an independent, reflecting the political diversity of the time.
