Well actually there was no "original system" for choosing the Presidential Electors. In 1789, some states chose them through their legislatures [e.g., SC]; some elected them directly [e.g., PA]; some allowed the voters to nominate, with the legislature making the final choices [e.g., MA]; and New Jersey allowed the Governor to appoint them.
The original system for choosing Presidential Electors did not give anyone except the Electors a preference vote. In a few states where the Electors were chosen by the popular vote, they chose between slates of pledged Federalist (Washington & Adams) and Anti-Federalist (Washington & Clinton) candidates for Elector.
