The source used for the popular vote figures is OurCampaigns which list 3,479 for Federalist electors and 1,097 for Anti-Federalist electors. It's source for this is the Pennsylvania Manual 1927, p. 429 which does not agree with OurCampaings. The source says there were two tickets, a "Henry Ticket", which won, and a "Todd Ticket", which lost. Both tickets are described as Federalist, not Federalist and Anti-Federalist. Therefore, only the best-performing elector from both tickets should be counted as they are both Federalist.

However, it's best to go with A New Nation Votes, a source I find to be reliable. According to this source, the top two performing electors were supported by both parties, which would mean showing a tie in the popular vote since one of them had to have been the Clinton elector.
