Interesting video on the first presidential election (1789)

I do not know who this guy is, but he presents an interesting 22 minute video on Washington's first election.

He did not mention one interesting fact: Washington was 57 days late showing up for duty. He was supposed to have been in office March 4, but he did not take the oath until April 30, 1789.

It was interesting how different states selected their electors.
There was a lot of urban vs rural divide and the side in control of that state tried to nudge things in such a way to advantage their side in selecting electors.
