Here is what their researchers say about Election Cake: 

... turns outs out that we've been eating it for centuries. When our Colonial ancestors arrived here from Europe, they brought with them a fondness for open-air celebrating, whether it was for a successful harvest, barn raising, or wedding. Often included in the fiddling and feasting were enormous fruited, spiced breads or "great cakes." Election Day, which was a springtime tradition back then, was celebrated in kind, not only because it was one of the few times a year when everyone was gathered together, but also because the act of voting was a treasured expression of freedom. And the cake? As Schmidt succinctly summarized: "Election cake is simply a version of the great cake they baked on election day." The recipe was so popular that there's even a recipe for it in the second edition of Amelia Simmons' American Cookery, the country's first cookbook. MORE ON New England Today
