Answer:

Two votes

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of votes that each elector in the Electoral College cast in the presidential election of 1800 was 2.

The presidential election was won by a Democratic-Republican party presidential candidate Thomas Jefferson.

The original reason behind the 2 votes was that each elector would be able to cast one vote for two different candidates for President.

Hence, in this case, the correct answer is TWO (2) VOTES
