Answer:

John Adams would have won reelection as President

Explanation:

The outcome of the 1800 Presidential election in the United States had Thomas Jefferson under Democratic-Republican won the presidency with 73 votes against the John Adams of Federalists party with 65 votes.

However, during this period, Maryland electors were 10 and it was split equally between the two major parties.

Therefore, had Federalists controlled all Maryland's electors, John Adams would have won his reelection with 70 votes, while Jefferson would have come second with 68 votes.
