This article discusses familiar shady tactics used to get NY state to vote for ratification, like changing voter qualifications beforehand.
"For their part, the response of the Federalist New York City mob to the ratification was much less sophisticated. Their celebration took the form of ransacking the building of the great Antifederal organ, the New York Journal, and paying a visit to Governor Clinton’s home. Fortunately, Clinton arrived at his house three days after the incident."
