1790 Electoral Reform Enrolled Law

The seven counties that the 1790 election statute applied to (Bergen, Monmouth, Burlington, Gloucester, Salem, Hunterdon, and Sussex) all carried heavy Quaker and Federalist affiliations. This has led many historians to suggest that perhaps the 1790 statute was influenced by those groups — the Quakers because of their egalitarian views, and the Federalists because they hoped to widen their political base and increase their legislative power. The law passed in the state legislature 33 votes to 4.
