What percentage of the electoral vote did George Washington get in 1789? 1792? 1796?

1789: 100%
1792: 100%
1796: less than 1%
(Give Washington a break; he didn't even run in 1796.)

(Also note each elector was required to vote separately for President and Vice-President, per Article II, Section 1, Clause 3.  That clause has since been superseded by Amendment XII, which was ratified in 1804.)
