According to the election maps, a Fusion Party also existed in 1812, and was the Democratic-Republicans' main opposition.

That is misleading. There was not a single entity known as the "Fusion Party". The candidate received votes based on electoral fusion -- the same candidate was nominated by multiple parties. The votes from the various parties were all counted for the individual. older ≠ wiser 03:36, 8 February 2008 (UTC)
