[edit] Inconsistency

Article says:

By the end of Monroe's first term the Federalist Party had essentially disbanded and Monroe was re-elected in 1820 without any real opposition. One elector cast his electoral vote for Secretary of State John Quincy Adams, son of John Adams. This was to preserve the record of George Washington as being the only person to receive all of the electoral votes and technically have been elected unanimously.

But Era of Good Feeling states:

The Era reached its peak in the election of 1820, when President Monroe was re-elected with all but one electoral vote. A common but false belief is a vote was withheld only due to the voter's concern that George Washington should remain as the sole president elected unanimously.
