John Adams becomes the United States' Second President on the year 1796
The booths have closed and the results have come in! The election was very close, with Adams winning 53.3% of the popular votes.
Results:
Adams 8
Jefferson 7
That was Washington who had the last two terms.

Spoiler :
The votes were close enough that my vote actually decided it. My reason for picking Adams was, historically, Jefferson's anti-standing army and navy policy eventually led to America being beaten up in the War of 1812. Not to mention, although Jefferson promoted westward expansion, Adams was no opposed to it either. Adams had a lot more character than Jefferson, as Jefferson was a hypocrite for wanting to stop the slave trade while building his riches on his own slaves. Adams did more politically for the United States, and even the most famous line from the Declaration of Independence was not wholly Jefferson's (We hold these truths to be self evident that all men are created equal. Benjamin Franklin suggested self-evident as opposed to Jefferson's sacred and undeniable). However, perhaps Adams' pragmatic policies will be good enough that Jefferson's idealistic politicies could work in the next election.
I encourage you to, if you want, explain why you voted for who you did. It might persuade other people to vote in your interest. I will refrain from putting my opinion or vote in until the end of the election from now on.
