Popular votes were not yet part of the presidential elections of 1789 and 1792. (The public at large did not vote.) Washington received all 69 electoral votes for president in 1789 and all 132 electoral votes in 1792. Under the system then in place, votes for vice president were considered electoral votes; the person with the second highest number of electoral votes became the vice president.
