The 2012 United States presidential election in Utah took place on November 6, 2012, as part of the 2012 General Election in which all 50 states plus The District of Columbia participated. Utah voters chose six electors to represent them in the Electoral College via a popular vote pitting incumbent Democratic President Barack Obama and his running mate, Vice President Joe Biden, against Republican challenger and former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney and his running mate, Congressman Paul Ryan. Prior to the election, all 17 news organizations considered this a state Romney would win, or otherwise considered as a safe red state. Utah is among the most heavily Republican states, voting for the Republican ticket in every presidential election since 1968, and is also the only state to have a majority Mormon population, benefiting Romney, the first Mormon to head a major party presidential ticket. He carried every county in the state, all by large margins. However, Obama won reelection nationwide.

Voters chose 27 representatives, or electors to the Electoral College, who voted for president and vice president.Pennsylvania strongly voted for the Republican nominee, President Richard Nixon, over the Democratic nominee, Senator George McGovern. Nixon won Pennsylvania by a massive margin of 19.98 percent, winning every county except for Philadelphia. This result nonetheless was over three percent more Democratic than the nation at-large. As of the 2016 presidential election, this is the last election in which Allegheny County voted Republican, and the last time that county did not vote the same as Philadelphia.

The 1944 United States presidential election in South Carolina took place on November 7, 1944, as part of the 1944 United States presidential election. State voters chose eight electors to the Electoral College, which selected the president and vice president.South Carolina was won by Democratic candidate, incumbent President Franklin D.

The 1964 United States presidential election in Washington took place on November 3, 1964, as part of the 1964 United States presidential election. Washington voters chose nine representatives, or electors, to the Electoral College, who voted for president and vice president.Washington was won by incumbent President Lyndon B. Johnson (D–Texas), with 61.97 percent of the popular vote, against Senator Barry Goldwater (R–Arizona), with 37.37 percent of the popular vote.

The 1960 United States presidential election in New York took place on November 8, 1960. All 50 states were part of the 1960 United States presidential election. New York voters chose forty five electors to the Electoral College, which selected the president and vice president.New York was won by Democratic Senator John F. Kennedy of Massachusetts, who was running against incumbent Republican Vice President Richard Nixon. Kennedy was running with Texas Senator, and strongest opponent in the 1960 Democratic Primaries, Lyndon B. Johnson for vice president, and Nixon ran with internationally popular United States Ambassador to the United Nations Henry Cabot Lodge, Jr..Kennedy won New York with 52.53% of the vote to Nixon's 47.27%, a victory margin of 5.26%.New York weighed in for this election as 5% more Democratic than the national average.The presidential election of 1960 was a very partisan election for New York, with 99.8% of the electorate voting for either the Democratic Party or the Republican Party. In typical form for the time, the highly populated centers of New York City, Buffalo, and Albany, voted primarily Democratic, while the smaller counties in New York turned out for Nixon as the Republican candidate.Kennedy won the election in New York by a solid 5 point margin, representing a dramatic shift toward the Democratic Party in the state: just four years earlier, Dwight Eisenhower had carried New York State for the Republicans with over 60% of the vote. The results of this election in New York are typical of the nationwide trend of the urbanization of the Democratic Party, and Kennedy's dominance in heavily populated New York City was a vital component to his victory in the state. Kennedy took 62.62% of the overall vote in New York City, to Nixon’s 37.04%, and carried four out of five boroughs. Kennedy's victory in Queens, in the midst of a virtual tie nationwide, marked a dramatic turning point for the heavily populated borough’s political leanings. Prior to 1960, Queens had been a Republican borough, only voting Democratic in massive nationwide Democratic landslides; it had not previously gone Democratic since the landslide re-election of Franklin Roosevelt in 1936. Beginning in 1960, Queens became a reliably Democratic borough, and since then has gone Republican only once, in the 1972 Republican landslide.Nixon for his part ran on a platform of continuing the “peace and prosperity” felt throughout the United States under President Eisenhower, which gained him popularity in the developing regions of the Mid-West and Pacific States, while Kennedy attained his popularity in urban regions, in-part, due to his progressive stand on international politics. This included taking a stronger stance with the Soviet Union, which was a very important issue to many city-dwellers, fearing annihilation during the height of the post-nuclear age.The electors of New York were vital to Kennedy's overall victory, as he defeated Nixon 303-219 in the United States Electoral College. Had Nixon carried New York, then all other things being equal he would have won pluralities both the popular and electoral vote. However, the Republican nominee would have still finished two votes short of an overall majority in the Electoral College, as he would have had a total of 265 of the 267 pledged electors needed to win compared to 258 for Kennedy. The fourteen unpledged electors of Mississippi and Alabama would have held the balance of power in the Electoral College (unable to influence the overall result, these electors opted to cast their votes in favor of Virginia Senator Harry F. Byrd).

The 1860 United States presidential election in Pennsylvania took place on November 6, 1860, as part of the 1860 United States presidential election. Voters chose 27 representatives, or electors to the Electoral College, who voted for president and vice president.The Democratic Party chose its slate of electors before the National Convention in Charleston, South Carolina. Since this was decided before the party split, both Douglas supporters and Breckinridge supporters claimed the right for their man to be considered the party candidate and the support of the electoral slate. Eventually, the state party worked out an agreement: if either candidate could win the national election with Pennsylvania's electoral vote, then all her electoral votes would go to that candidate. Of the 27 electoral candidates, 15 were Breckinridge supporters; the remaining 12 were for Douglas. This was often referred to as the Reading electoral slate, because it was in that city that the state party chose it.Not all of the Douglas supporters agreed to the Reading slate deal and established a separate Douglas-only ticket. This slate comprised the 12 Douglas electoral candidates on the Reading ticket, and 15 additional Douglas supporters. This ticket was usually referred to as the Straight Douglas ticket. Thus 12 electoral candidates appeared on 2 tickets, Reading and Straight Douglas.Pennsylvania voted for the Republican candidate, Abraham Lincoln, over the fusion ticket. Lincoln won Pennsylvania by a margin of 18.72%.

The 1964 United States presidential election in Oklahoma took place on November 3, 1964. All fifty states and The District of Columbia were part of the 1964 United States presidential election.

Bush of Texas, who was running against Massachusetts Governor Michael Dukakis.

South Carolina

The 1860 United States presidential election in South Carolina took place on November 6, 1860, as part of the 1860 United States presidential election. The state legislature chose eight representatives, or electors to the Electoral College, who voted for president and vice president, which would be the last time the state would do so.South Carolina cast eight electoral votes for the Southern Democratic candidate John C. Breckinridge. These electors were chosen by the South Carolina General Assembly, the state legislature, rather than by popular vote.However, Republican Party candidate Abraham Lincoln would win the election nationally and would cause a major upset in the Southern States. South Carolina would be the first state to secede from the Union, on December 20, 1860, and would join the newly formed Confederate States of America in the February of the following year. South Carolina would not vote in another presidential election until 1868.

The 1996 United States presidential election in New York took place on November 5, 1996, as part of the 1996 United States presidential election. Voters chose 33 representatives, or electors to the Electoral College, who voted for president and vice president.New York, a reliable blue state that no Republican has won since 1984, was won by incumbent Democratic President Bill Clinton of Arkansas and Vice President Al Gore of Tennessee, over the Republican ticket of Senator Bob Dole of Kansas and Representative Jack Kemp of New York. Clinton carried New York by a landslide 28.86% margin of victory, taking 59.47 percent of the vote to Dole’s 30.61 percent, even though Republican vice presidential candidate Jack Kemp was from New York. Reform Party candidate Ross Perot finished in third, with 7.97 percent of the popular vote.Clinton improved dramatically on his 1992 showing in New York, when he had won the state with a 49.73% plurality. 1996 firmly entrenched New York’s status in the modern era as a Democratic stronghold, rather than the swing state it had been in the 1970s and 1980s. Many historically powerfully Republican upstate counties were won by the Democratic ticket: Clinton is alongside Lyndon Johnson in 1964 one of only two Democrats since the Civil War to carry Cattaraugus, Chenango, Delaware, Fulton, Jefferson, Ontario, Schuyler and Yates Counties. As of the 2016 presidential election, this election also remains the last – and only since LBJ swept every county in 1964 – occasion that the Democratic candidate won the following counties: Chemung, Herkimer, Lewis, Oneida and Schoharie. The following counties also voted Democratic for the first time since 1964: Clinton, Columbia, Dutchess, Essex, Madison, Orange, Richmond (including Staten Island), Saratoga, Suffolk, Warren and Washington.In this process of sweeping traditionally Republican suburbs around New York City, Clinton increased his lead in Westchester County – where he later moved in 2000 – from an 8.5 percent win in 1992 to a 21-point sweep in 1996. Many of these gains would be preserved in future elections; since 1996, no Democratic presidential candidate has gotten less than 58 percent of the vote in New York State. This is also the second-best Democratic performance in New York State by margin of victory: Clinton won by 28.86 percentage points, while Obama in 2012, the third-best, won by only 28.18 percentage points.

The 1960 United States presidential election was held on November 8, 1960. The Democratic Party candidate John F. Kennedy, narrowly won the state of Texas with 50.52 percent of the vote to the Republican candidate Vice President Richard Nixon's 48.52 percent, a margin of two percent, giving him the state's twenty-four electoral votes. Despite the presence of U.S. Senator Lyndon B. Johnson on the Democratic ticket, the result made Texas the tenth closest state in the election. Nixon’s strong performance in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, Harris County, the Panhandle and the Hill Country kept the race close.Fears of anti-Catholic voting in West Texas, which had given Herbert Hoover a narrow win over Al Smith in 1928, were not entirely realized. It is notable that the sparsely populated rural Plains counties of Armstrong, Bailey, Childress, Collingsworth, Dallam, Dawson, Donley, Floyd, Gaines, Hale, Hardeman, Hartley, Moore, Motley, Parmer, Wheeler, Willbarger and Yoakum switched from Stevenson to Nixon, as did Wise County north of Fort Worth, while a further thirty-eight counties saw Kennedy fail to reach Stevenson’s vote percentage. However, this was more than offset by Kennedy’s gains in heavily Hispanic Catholic South Texas, where few Mexicans had voted in 1928. Anti-Catholic voting was also lessened by appeals from former President Harry S. Truman, who campaigned for Kennedy and Johnson.Nixon would narrowly lose Texas again in 1968, although he did win the presidency that year. In 1972, he sought re-election and won Texas with an overwhelming sixty-six percent of the popular vote.As of the 2016 presidential election, this is the last time Glasscock County voted for a Democratic presidential candidate.

The 1976 United States presidential election in New York took place on November 2, 1976. All 50 states and The District of Columbia, were part of the 1976 United States presidential election. New York voters chose forty one electors to the Electoral College, which voted for President and Vice President.New York was won by Democratic Georgia Governor Jimmy Carter, in a narrow victory against incumbent Republican President Gerald Ford, who failed to gain the presidency through formal election that year. Carter was running with Minnesota Senator Walter Mondale, and President Ford had selected Kansas Congressman Bob Dole.Carter took 51.95 percent of the popular vote to Ford's 47.52 percent, a victory margin of 4.43 percent.New York weighed in as being slightly more Democratic than the national average, by about 2%. The vast majority of counties in New York were won by the more conservative Ford, but the highly populated regions of New York City, Buffalo, and Albany were able to tip the scales for the more progressive Carter.The presidential election of 1976 was a very partisan election, with more than 99 percent of the electorate voting either Republican or Democrat. Also, this election marks the first time that New York was won by a presidential candidate from the Deep South in over 100 years. The last time that a candidate from the Deep South carried the vote in this State, it was Zachary Taylor, who was elected under the US. Whig Party in 1848. Another reason why Carter (a relatively inexperienced politician at the time of the 1976 election) was able to attain victory in New York, and generally, was because of the residual distaste for the Ford Administration due to the 1974 Watergate Scandal, which resulted in the resignation of then President Richard Nixon, who was succeeded by Ford.Despite Ford being a Northern moderate, the Southerner Carter won commanding victories over Ford in four of the five boroughs of New York City. Carter broke 70% of the vote in Manhattan and the Bronx, and received over 60% of the vote in Brooklyn and Queens. Overall Carter took a citywide vote total of 66.37%, up to that point the third highest vote share ever received by a Democratic presidential candidate in New York City, surpassed only by the nationwide landslide victories of Lyndon Johnson in 1964 and Franklin Roosevelt in 1936, despite the fact that Carter was only winning a narrow 2-point victory nationwide. The massive raw vote margin in New York City provided all of Carter's narrow margin of victory in New York State. One reason for Ford's unusually weak performance in the city may have been his initial refusal to grant the nearly bankrupt city a federal bailout in 1975, sparking the infamous New York Daily News headline "Ford to City: Drop Dead." While Ford ultimately would extend federal loans to the city to prevent it from falling into bankruptcy, the damage to Ford's reputation in New York City may have contributed to his poor performance in the city and his narrow loss of the state overall.Even though Ford won an overwhelming majority of New York State's counties, Carter's landslide in massively populated New York City provided all of Carter's statewide victory margin over Ford. The 5 boroughs provided Carter with a citywide vote advantage over Ford of 716,717 votes, more than twice Carter's statewide victory margin of 288,767 votes.Carter’s victory in New York was a key to his winning this election. Had Ford carried the state instead, along with all the other states he won, he would have been elected instead with an Electoral College victory of 281 to 256.The 1976 Democratic National Convention was held at Madison Square Garden in New York City, in August 1976. At the convention, electors and delegates met for 3 days in New York City before formally nominating Carter to run for the presidency.

Bush of Texas, and Mondale ran with Representative Geraldine Ferraro of New York, the first major female candidate for the vice presidency.

The 1960 United States presidential election in New Jersey took place on November 8, 1960. All 50 states were part of the 1960 United States presidential election. New Jersey voters chose 16 electors to the Electoral College, which selected the president and vice president.New Jersey was won by the Democratic nominees, Senator John F. Kennedy of Massachusetts and his running mate Senate Majority Leader Lyndon B. Johnson of Texas. Kennedy and Johnson defeated the Republican nominees, Vice President Richard Nixon of California and his running mate Ambassador Henry Cabot Lodge, Jr. of Massachusetts.Kennedy carried New Jersey with 49.96 percent of the vote to Nixon’s 49.16 percent, a margin of 0.80 percent.Kennedy managed to narrowly win the state despite winning only seven counties to Nixon’s fourteen. However Kennedy managed to rack up large margins decisively winning some of the most heavily populated counties in the state, while keeping the results very close in those heavily populated counties that he lost.As the first Roman Catholic nominee, from an urban Irish immigrant background, John Kennedy appealed strongly to working-class Catholics and other urban ethnic immigrant groups, who turned out in record numbers to support him. Thus Kennedy's support base was condensed into mostly heavily populated urban areas.In urban Hudson County, home to Bayonne, Jersey City, and Hoboken, and part of the New York City area where Kennedy did very well, Kennedy won countywide by a decisive 60–39 margin. This represented a major shift from 1956, when Republican Dwight Eisenhower had won Hudson County by 20 points.In Mercer County, home to the state capital of Trenton, Kennedy did even better, winning 61–39.Essex County, home to Newark, had long been Republican-leaning, voting not only for Eisenhower twice in the 1950s, but also voting GOP three times before that for Thomas E. Dewey and Wendell Willkie against Franklin Roosevelt and Harry Truman in the 1940s. However Kennedy won the heavily populated county by a decisive 55–42 margin, the start of a re-alignment of the county; by the end of the 1960s, Essex County would be the most Democratic county in New Jersey.Kennedy also won heavily populated Middlesex County by a 58–41 margin. In equally heavily populated Union County, Nixon won, but only by a razor-thin 50–49 margin. In Passaic County, Kennedy won by a 51–45 margin. In Camden County, Kennedy won 55–45.Nixon was able to keep the race close statewide by winning several fairly populated suburban counties, like Monmouth County and Morris County, along with many rural counties; overall his biggest prize was heavily populated Bergen County, which went to Nixon by a 59–41 margin. Nixon's strongest county by vote share was rural Sussex County, where he received 69% of the vote to Kennedy's 31%. Kennedy's strongest county by vote share was urban Mercer County, where he received 61% of the vote to Nixon’s 39%.New Jersey in this era was usually a swing state with a slight Republican lean. But in 1960, excitement among the many Catholic and other ethnic immigrant communities that populated New Jersey’s cities for the historic candidacy of John F. Kennedy led to turnout in record numbers to elect the first Catholic president, thus narrowly delivering the state to Kennedy. The Great Migration also helped Kennedy, who clearly won the state’s Negro voters. As Kennedy eked out a razor-thin victory nationally to win the presidency, New Jersey voted basically how the nation voted. But under the unique circumstances that made Kennedy popular in Northeastern states, New Jersey's results in 1960 made it about .18% more Democratic than the national average.

The results of the 2012 election made Vermont the second most Democratic state in the nation, only surpassed by the results in Obama's birth state of Hawaii.

The 1920 United States presidential election in Utah took place on November 2, 1920. All contemporary forty-eight states took part, and Utah voters selected four electors to the Electoral College, who voted for president and vice president. This was the first presidential election to feature as a distinct voting unit Daggett County, the newest and least populous of Utah’s current twenty-nine counties.In 1916, Utah had turned strongly Democratic as a result of a powerful “peace vote” for incumbent President Woodrow Wilson; however, by the beginning of 1920 skyrocketing inflation and Wilson’s focus upon his proposed League of Nations at the expense of domestic policy had helped make the incumbent President very unpopular – besides which Wilson also had major health problems that had left First Lady Edith effectively running the nation. Political unrest seen in the Palmer Raids and the “Red Scare” further added to the unpopularity of the Democratic Party, since this global political turmoil produced considerable fear of alien revolutionaries invading the country. Demand in the West for exclusion of Asian immigrants became even stronger than it had been before.All these factors combined to produce a national landslide, with a swing of almost twenty-nine percentage points to the Republicans vis-à-vis the election of 1916. Utah followed the national trend closely: whereas Wilson had won the state by twenty percentage points in 1916 and had clean-swept the twenty-eight extant counties, in 1920 Harding by campaigning on a “return to normalcy” carried every county in the Beehive State with a swing of thirty-seven percentage points. This was the first time Washington County had ever been carried by the Republican nominee. Despite this large swing, Utah in 1920 still voted 9.08 percentage points more Democratic than the nation at-large.On the ballot in Utah in 1920 in addition to the two major party candidates were Utah native Parley P. Christensen of the “Farmer-Labor” Party, and imprisoned Socialist candidate Eugene Debs in his fifth and final run for president. Christensen was supported by some unionists and veterans of Theodore Roosevelt’s 1912 presidential campaign. Despite the endorsement of Herbert Croly, Christensen received only one percent of the nationwide vote, and although he finished ahead of Cox in numerous counties in Washington State and South Dakota, Parley could only obtain three percent in his home state, whilst Debs accomplished even less.

Utah voters chose four electors to the Electoral College, who voted for president and vice president. This was the first election featuring as a distinct voting unite Duchesne County, which had been split from Wasatch County in 1915.In the preceding 1912 presidential election, Utah had been one of only two states (the other being strongly Republican Vermont) to give a plurality to incumbent President William Howard Taft. However, in contrast to the East where supporters of Theodore Roosevelt‘s “Bull Moose” Party rapidly returned to the Republicans, in the Mountain States many if not most of these supporters turned to the Democratic Party not only in presidential elections, but also in state and federal legislative ones. Another factor helping Wilson was a powerful “peace vote” in the Western states due to opposition to participation in World War I, and a third was that a considerable part of the substantial vote for Eugene Debs from the previous election was turned over to Wilson owing to such Progressive reforms as the Sixteenth and Seventeenth Amendments. A fourth factor was that Taft had support from the Mormon hierarchy that commanded the loyalty of most of Utah’s population – which caused Utah to remain largely loyal to him amidst the GOP split – but the LDS Church did not maintain support with Hughes.The combined result was that Wilson was able to make Utah his second-strongest victory outside of the “Solid South” – in a state that four years previously had given him his seventh-lowest popular vote proportion. Utah was his eleventh-best state overall and voted 17.83 percentage points more Democratic than the nation at-large. Wilson swept every county in the state, including rock-ribbed Republican Kane County, which had been Taft’s third-strongest county nationwide in 1912, which has never otherwise supported a Democrat for president, and where otherwise only William Jennings Bryan in 1896 and Franklin Roosevelt in 1936 have as Democrats received so much as 31 percent of the vote.

Johnson of Texas, over the Republican nominee, Senator Barry Goldwater of Arizona. Johnson ran with incumbent Vice President Hubert H. Humphrey of Minnesota, while Goldwater’s running mate was Congressman William E. Miller of New York.Johnson carried Rhode Island in a landslide, taking 80.87% of the vote to Goldwater’s 19.13%, a Democratic victory margin of 61.74%. This made Rhode Island Lyndon Johnson’s strongest state in the nation: even in the midst of a massive nationwide Democratic landslide, Rhode Island weighed in as 39 percent more Democratic than the national average during the 1964 election.The staunch conservative Goldwater was widely seen in the Northeastern United States as a right-wing extremist; he had voted against the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and the Johnson campaign portrayed him as a warmonger who as president would provoke a nuclear war. While John F. Kennedy had won 63.63 percent in Rhode Island in 1960 mostly by sweeping the ethnic Catholic vote, for 1964, this traditional Democratic coalition was joined by mass defections of moderate Yankee Republicans who had voted for Eisenhower and Nixon but could not support the extremist Goldwater. His landslide was so large, he won a record 315,463 votes, a record that still hasn't been beat. Consequently, the incumbent Johnson was able to take more than eighty percent of the vote in liberal Rhode Island.Johnson swept all five counties in Rhode Island with over seventy percent of the vote. In Providence County, the most populated county, home to the state’s capital and largest city, Providence, Johnson took an epic 83.5% of the vote. This was the strongest showing ever for a Democratic presidential candidate in Providence.Johnson’s 80.87 percent remains the highest vote share percentage any presidential candidate of either party has ever received in Rhode Island, and his 61.74 percent victory margin remains the widest margin by which any candidate of either party has ever won the state. In fact, since 1968 no state of the Union has ever given any candidate so large a proportion of the vote.

From 1856 to 1940, Vermont had the longest streak of voting Republican of any state, having never voted Democratic before, and this tradition continued in 1944 with Dewey's decisive win.Vermont had been one of only two states (along with Maine) to reject Democrat Franklin D. Roosevelt in all four of his presidential campaigns, even in the nationwide Democratic landslides of 1932 and 1936.However 1940 had been Roosevelt's high point in Vermont. In 1940, Roosevelt had improved on his previous showings in Vermont, coming within 10 points of winning the state, and thus Dewey's more comfortable win in 1944 represented a shift back toward the GOP.Dewey carried 10 of the state's 14 counties, breaking 60% in 6 of them. But the three northwestern counties of Vermont had been Democratic enclaves in an otherwise Republican state throughout the 1930s and 1940s, and Roosevelt once again won Chittenden County, Franklin County and Grand Isle County for the Democrats. Roosevelt also once again carried rural Essex County in the northeast of the state, as he had first done in 1940.

It was also the closest presidential election result in Virginia history: Bell won by 156 votes, or a margin of 0.093474 percent – the thirteenth-closest statewide presidential result in United States history and the closest between 1836 and 1876. Virginia eventually seceded from the United States on April 17, 1861, and did not participate in the following elections in 1864 and 1868.

Lincoln received no votes at all in 121 of the state's then-145 counties (including 31 of the 50 that would form West Virginia), received a single vote in three counties and received ten or fewer votes in nine of the 24 counties where he polled votes. Lincoln's best results, by far, were in the four counties that comprised the state's northern panhandle, a region which had long felt alienated from Richmond and which was economically and culturally linked to its neighbors Ohio and Pennsylvania and which would become the key driver in the successful effort to form a separate state. Hancock County (Virginia's northernmost at the time) returned Lincoln's best result - he polled over 40% of the vote there and finished in second place (Lincoln polled only eight votes fewer than Breckinridge). Of the 97 votes cast for Lincoln in the state's post-1863 boundaries, 93 were polled in four counties (all along the Potomac River) and four were cast in the coastal city of Portsmouth.

Bush by a 39.8% margin of victory. Prior to the election, all 12 news organizations considered this a state Bush would win, or otherwise considered as a safe red state. This was based on pre-election polling, the fact that the last Democrat to win here was Lyndon B. Johnson in 1964, and how Bush carried this state in 2000 with almost 68% of the vote.

The state had similar demographics and was a showdown state just like its bordering states: Michigan, Minnesota, and Iowa. On election day, Senator Kerry barely carried the state over President George W. Bush. The results were nearly identical to the 2000 election, when Al Gore squeaked by Bush.

The 1948 United States presidential election in Vermont took place on November 2, 1948, as part of the 1948 United States presidential election which was held throughout all contemporary 48 states. Voters chose three representatives, or electors to the Electoral College, who voted for president and vice president.Vermont voted for the Republican nominee, former Governor Thomas E. Dewey of New York, over the Democratic nominee, incumbent President Harry S. Truman of Missouri. Dewey's running mate was Governor Earl Warren of California, while Truman ran with Senator Alben W. Barkley of Kentucky.Dewey took a landslide 61.54% of the vote to Truman's 36.92%, a victory margin of 24.61%. Progressive Party candidate Henry A. Wallace came in a distant third, with 1.04%.Vermont historically was a bastion of liberal Northeastern Republicanism, and by 1948 the Green Mountain State had gone Republican in every presidential election since the founding of the Republican Party. From 1856 to 1944, Vermont had had the longest streak of voting Republican of any state, having never voted Democratic before, and this tradition easily continued in 1948 with Dewey's decisive win.Vermont had been one of only two states (along with Maine) to reject Democrat Franklin D. Roosevelt in all four of his presidential campaigns, even in the nationwide Democratic landslides of 1932 and 1936. But FDR had improved dramatically on previous Democrats' performances in Vermont, and in an opposite trend of the nation, had been more Democratic in the 1940s than in either of the 1930s landslides, with Roosevelt coming within 10 points of winning Vermont in 1940. Thus Dewey's decisive win with 61.54% marked the first time since 1928 that a Republican broke 60% of the vote in Vermont.Dewey carried 11 of the state's 14 counties, breaking 60% in 9 of them, and in 5 of those broke 70%. But the three northwestern counties of Vermont had been Democratic enclaves in an otherwise Republican state throughout the 1930s and 1940s, and Truman once again won Chittenden County, Franklin County and Grand Isle County for the Democrats. Dewey did win back sparsely populated Essex County, in the northeast of the state, which had defected to the Democrats and voted for Roosevelt in 1940 and 1944.

The 1984 United States presidential election in Wyoming took place on November 6, 1984. All 50 states and the District of Columbia, were part of the 1984 United States presidential election.

The 1920 United States presidential election in Wyoming took place on November 2, 1920, as part of the 1920 United States presidential election. Wyoming voters chose three representatives, or electors, to the Electoral College, who voted for president and vice president.Wyoming was won by Republican Ohio Senator Warren G. Harding, running with governor of Massachusetts and the future 30th president of the United States Calvin Coolidge, with 64.15 percent of the popular vote, against the Democratic 46th and 48th Governor of Ohio James M. Cox, running with the future Governor of New York and 32nd President of the United States Franklin D. Roosevelt, with 31.86 percent of the popular vote.Like all of the Western United States, severe anger at President Woodrow Wilson’s failure to maintain his promise to keep the United States out of World War I produced extreme hostility among the strongly isolationist population of remote Wyoming. In addition, by the beginning of 1920 skyrocketing inflation and Wilson’s focus upon his proposed League of Nations at the expense of domestic policy had helped make the incumbent president very unpopular – besides which Wilson also had major health problems that had left First Lady Edith effectively running the nation. Political unrest seen in the Palmer Raids and the “Red Scare” further added to the unpopularity of the Democratic Party, since this global political turmoil produced considerable fear of alien revolutionaries invading the country. Demand in the West for exclusion of Asian immigrants became even stronger than it had been before. Another factor hurting the Democratic Party was the migration of many people from the traditionally Republican Upper Midwest into the state.Because the West had been the chief presidential battleground ever since the “System of 1896” emerged following that election, Governor Cox traveled across the western states in August and September, but he did not visit Wyoming with its tiny population and poverty of electoral votes. No polls were taken in the state, but a Republican success was universally assumed.

The 1992 United States presidential election in South Dakota took place on November 3, 1992, as part of the 1992 United States presidential election.

The 1992 United States presidential election in Vermont took place on November 3, 1992, as part of the 1992 United States presidential election.

Bush of Texas, who took 30.42%, a victory margin of 15.70%. Independent Texas billionaire Ross Perot finished in third, with 22.78% of the popular vote. Clinton ultimately won the national vote, defeating incumbent President Bush.This election would prove to be a re-aligning one for the state of Vermont. Clinton's decisive double-digit victory in the state, including a Democratic sweep of all fourteen counties, represented a dramatic turnaround for a state that up to that point had been reliably Republican for over 130 years. This was only the second time in history that a Democratic presidential nominee had won Vermont's electoral votes, the first and only prior time being when Lyndon Johnson had carried the state in the 1964 Democratic landslide. Except for 1964, Vermont had voted Republican in every presidential election from 1856 to 1988. Beginning in 1992, however, Vermont instantly became a reliably Democratic state in presidential elections, voting Democratic in every election that has followed.Vermont's sudden shift away from the GOP was largely a product of dramatic changes within the party itself. By the 1990s, the Republican Party, which once had a vibrant progressive Northeastern wing, had been almost completely taken over by conservatives, Southerners, and Evangelical Christians. Consequently, Vermont, a liberal and secular New England state, moved increasingly toward the Democratic Party and today is regarded as one of the bluest of blue states.

Harding of Ohio, over the Democratic nominee, Governor James M. Cox of Ohio. Harding ran with Governor Calvin Coolidge of Massachusetts, while Cox ran with Assistant Secretary of the Navy Franklin D. Roosevelt of New York.Harding won New Hampshire by a margin of 20.45%. His victory in the New England states was helped by the local popularity of his running mate, Calvin Coolidge, a traditional New England Yankee born in the small-town of Plymouth Notch, Vermont, who had started his political career nearby as Governor of Massachusetts. Despite this, New Hampshire would be Cox’s second-strongest antebellum free state (after Indiana) by popular vote percentage and third-strongest (after Indiana and Cox’s Ohio) in terms of percentage margin. Overall the Granite State voted by a two-party margin of 5.72 percentage points more Democratic than the nation at-large – which is the most Democratic relative thereto New Hampshire has ever voted since the Republican Party was founded. Although Cox carried no counties, Hillsborough and longtime national bellwether Coös would prove his strongest counties in New England.

Fairbanks of Indiana.

The 1940 United States presidential election in Wyoming took place on November 5, 1940, as part of the 1940 United States presidential election. Wyoming voters chose three representatives, or electors, to the Electoral College, who voted for president and vice president.Wyoming was won by President Franklin D. Roosevelt (D–New York), running with the 11th Secretary of Agriculture Henry A. Wallace, with 52.82 percent of the popular vote, against American lawyer and corporate executive Wendell Willkie (R–New York), running with senator Charles L. McNary, with 46.89 percent of the popular vote.This would be the last occasion Teton County would vote for a Democratic presidential candidate until Bill Clinton carried the county in 1992 – since when it has become a Democratic island in the nation's “reddest” state.

The 1976 United States presidential election in Vermont took place on November 2, 1976, as part of the 1976 United States Presidential Election which was held throughout all fifty states and the District of Columbia. Voters chose three representatives, or electors to the Electoral College, who voted for president and vice president.Vermont voted for incumbent Republican President Gerald Ford of Michigan and his running mate Senator Bob Dole of Kansas, defeating Democratic Governor Jimmy Carter of Georgia and his running mate Senator Walter Mondale of Minnesota.Ford took 54.34 percent of the vote to Carter’s 43.14 percent, a victory margin of 11.20%. Anti-war former Democratic Senator Eugene McCarthy of Minnesota, running as an Independent presidential candidate, came in a distant third, with 2.13 percent.Vermont historically was a bastion of liberal Northeastern Republicanism, and by 1976 the Green Mountain State had gone Republican in every presidential election since the founding of the Republican Party, except in the Democratic landslide of 1964, when the GOP had nominated staunch conservative Barry Goldwater. Gerald Ford, a moderate Northern Republican from Michigan, was easily able to continue the Republican tradition in Vermont, carrying the state comfortably and sweeping every county in the state against Southerner Jimmy Carter. This was the first election since 1892 when Grand Isle County had backed a losing candidate.As the Republican Party would lurch to the right with Ronald Reagan four years later in 1980, Vermont would prove to be the only state in the nation where the moderate Ford would outperform the conservative Reagan. Ford won the state by a larger margin and won more counties than Reagan, reflecting the process of realignment going on at the time both within the party and within the state.1976 was the last time that a losing Republican candidate would carry the state of Vermont, and the last time that the state would vote Republican in a close election. It was also the last election in which Vermont was more Republican than the nation as a whole, with Ford winning the state by over 11 points despite losing the national race by 2, making Vermont 13 percent more Republican than the national average in the 1976 election. Vermont would vote more Democratic than the nation in every election that has followed beginning in 1980.

The 1996 United States presidential election in Utah took place on November 7, 1996, as part of the 1996 United States presidential election. Voters chose five representatives, or electors to the Electoral College, who voted for president and vice president.Utah was won by Republican nominee Bob Dole by a 21.07 percent margin of victory. This was Dole’s highest margin of victory for any state in the country. Dole also obtained 54.37 percent of the vote in Utah, higher than any other state. As of the 2016 presidential election, this is the last election in which Tooele County and Carbon County voted for a Democratic presidential candidate.

The 1904 United States presidential election in Ohio was held on November 8, 1904. Ohio voters chose twenty-three electors to the Electoral College, who voted for president and vice president.The Republican Party candidate, President Theodore Roosevelt, decisively won the state of Ohio with 59.75% of the popular vote.

The 2008 United States presidential election in Texas took place on November 4, 2008, and was part of the 2008 United States presidential election. Voters chose 34 representatives, or electors to the Electoral College, who voted for president and vice president.Texas was won by Republican nominee John McCain by an 11.8% margin of victory despite "failing to deliver written certification of their nominations" on time to appear on the ballot. Barack Obama, the Democratic Party nominee and eventual President of the United States, made a similar error.Prior to the election, all 17 news organizations considered this a state McCain would win, or otherwise considered as a safe red state. This is because although the state is very diverse and has a huge Latino population, Latinos in Texas - despite being fairly Democratic - make up only 20% of the electorate. Polling throughout the state showed Republican John McCain consistently and substantially leading Democrat Barack Obama. On Election Day, McCain won the state, although his margin was less than native son George W. Bush in 2000 and 2004. This was the first election since 1996 in which the margin of victory was less than 1 million votes. With its 34 electoral votes, Texas was the largest prize for McCain in 2008.As of the 2016 presidential election, this is the last time the Democratic candidate won Brewster County.

The 1944 United States presidential election in New York took place on November 7, 1944. All contemporary 48 states were part of the 1944 United States presidential election. New York voters chose 47 electors to the Electoral College, which selected the president and vice president.New York was won by incumbent Democratic President Franklin D. Roosevelt, who was running against local Republican Governor Thomas E. Dewey. Roosevelt ran with U.S. Senator from Missouri Harry S. Truman, and Dewey ran with Ohio Governor, an opponent during the 1944 Republican primaries, John W. Bricker as Vice President.New York weighed in for this election as 2% more Republican than the national average.The presidential election of 1944 was a very partisan for New York, with more than 99.6% of the electorate casting votes for either the Democratic Party or the Republican. In typical form for the time, the highly populated centers of New York City, Albany, Buffalo, and Rochester voted primarily Democratic, while the majority of smaller counties in New York turned out for Dewey as the Republican candidate. Much of Roosevelt's margin of victory was provided by his dominance in New York City. Roosevelt took over 60% of the vote in Manhattan, Brooklyn, and the Bronx and decisively won New York City as a whole, although the boroughs of Queens and Staten Island remained Republican as they had voted in 1940.The immensely popular Roosevelt won the election in New York by a solid 5 point margin, despite it also being Dewey's home state. Dewey campaigned hard against President Roosevelt's New Deal, claiming that it suffocated job growth in the country, while Roosevelt's campaign focused on maintaining the New Deal, and putting an end to the war with Japan and Germany as quickly as possible. Governor Dewey's stance on the New Deal put him and his campaign in sharp contradiction with the majority voters across the country (including states such as New York, which had suffered through years of >15% unemployment during the Great Depression), and who largely attributed the economic recovery to Roosevelt's leadership, and heightened federal regulation and spending.The 1944 presidential election was the last time until United States presidential election in New York, 2016 in which both major party candidates declared New York as their home state.

The 1976 United States presidential election in South Dakota was held on November 2, 1976. Incumbent President Gerald Ford won the state of South Dakota, defeating Democratic candidate Jimmy Carter by a slim margin of 1.48 percentage points. Ford won all of South Dakota's four electoral votes, but lost the general election to Carter.South Dakota weighed in as 4% more Republican than the national average. As of the 2016 presidential election, this is the last election in which Codington County, Edmunds County, Faulk County, Gregory County, and McCook County voted for the Democratic candidate. This is also the last time a Democrat won any of South Dakota's congressional districts, namely the 1st, as both it and the 2nd would be eliminated after the 1980 census.

The 1936 United States presidential election in New Hampshire was held on November 3, 1936. The state voters chose four electors to the Electoral College, who voted for president and vice president.New Hampshire voted for Democratic Party candidate and incumbent President Franklin D.

The 1944 United States presidential election in Virginia took place on November 7, 1944, throughout the 48 contiguous states. Voters chose eleven representatives, or electors to the Electoral College, who voted for president and vice president.Virginia voted for the Democratic nominee, incumbent President Franklin D. Roosevelt, over the Republican nominee, New York Governor Thomas E. Dewey. Roosevelt ultimately won the national election with 53.39 percent of the vote.This is currently the last election in Virginia where the Democratic candidate won by a double-digit margin. It is also the last occasion the following county-equivalents have voted for a Democratic Presidential nominee: Augusta County, Mathews County, Northumberland County, Richmond County and Roanoke County. The independent city of Staunton would not vote Democratic again until Barack Obama in 2008. This would also be the last time until 2016 that Virginia was more Democratic than the national average.

The 2016 United States presidential election in Texas was won by Republican Donald Trump and his running mate Mike Pence by a 9% margin over Democrats Hillary Clinton and Tim Kaine, part of the November 8, 2016 General Election. Texas assigns its 38 Electoral College votes to the state's popular vote winner, but two faithless electors chose other candidates, making Texas the only state in 2016 to give Trump less than the assigned electoral votes.When the electoral college met on December 19, 2016, only 36 out of the 38 electors voted for Trump for president. Two electors defected, one to Ohio Governor John Kasich, and the other to Congressman Ron Paul. For Vice President, 37 electors voted for Pence, and one for Carly Fiorina.The primary of March 1, 2016 included the Green Party, in addition to the two major parties.Hillary Clinton lost Texas by a smaller margin than any Democrat since 1996 (though Barack Obama got a larger percentage of the vote in 2008), which analysts attributed to ongoing demographic changes, although other analysts cite evidence suggesting the real reason was Trump losing ground with college-educated white voters. Trump became the tenth Republican in a row to win Texas, beginning with Ronald Reagan in 1980.

The 2008 United States presidential election in New York took place on November 4, 2008, and was part of the 2008 United States presidential election.

John G. Schmitz was the only other candidate on the ballot, and, as the candidate for the American Independent Party, he received over five thousand votes.In a state that would reflect McGovern's national results, the Democratic nominee only won one county (Rolette) in North Dakota.

The 1912 United States presidential election in Virginia took place on November 5, 1912. Voters chose twelve representatives, or electors to the Electoral College, who voted for president and vice president.Virginia voted for the Democratic nominee, New Jersey Governor Woodrow Wilson, over the Republican nominee, incumbent President William Howard Taft, and the Progressive nominee, former President Theodore Roosevelt.

The 1976 United States presidential election in New Jersey took place on November 2, 1976. All 50 states and the District of Columbia, were part of the 1976 United States presidential election. New Jersey voters chose 17 electors to the Electoral College, which selected the president and vice president.New Jersey was won by the Republican nominees, incumbent President Gerald Ford of Michigan and his running mate Senator Bob Dole of Kansas. Ford and Dole defeated the Democratic nominees, Governor Jimmy Carter of Georgia and his running mate Senator Walter Mondale of Minnesota.Ford narrowly carried New Jersey with 50.08% of the vote to Carter's 47.92%, a victory margin of 2.16%.Anti-war former Democratic Senator Eugene McCarthy of Minnesota, running as an Independent presidential candidate, came in a distant third, with 1.09%.Reflecting the closeness of the statewide result, Ford and Carter virtually split New Jersey's 21 counties: Ford won 11 counties to Carter's 10.The native Southerner Jimmy Carter performed unusually well among rural voters in South Jersey, winning six out of seven of the southernmost counties in the state. Carter's strongest county by vote share was rural Cumberland County in the far south of the state by the Delaware border, where he won 58-41. However his comfortable victories in more populous traditional Democratic base counties are what made him competitive statewide: in Essex County, he won 55-42, in Hudson County, he won 55-44, and in Mercer County, he won 53-45. He also won heavily populated Middlesex County, but by a narrow 51-47 margin.The Northern moderate Ford, however, edged out Carter statewide with comfortable victories in heavily populated suburban counties which were dominated by moderate Republicans. In most presidential elections in this era, the most Republican county in the state would usually be rural, sparsely populated Sussex County. While Ford did win Sussex County decisively by a 60-38 margin, Ford's strongest county by vote share was actually suburban Morris County, where he beat Carter 61-37. In suburban Monmouth County, Ford won 54-44. Other important victories for Ford were in fairly populated Ocean County, which he won 57-41, and Passaic County, which he won 51-46. However Ford's biggest prize was very heavily populated Bergen County, which went decisively to Ford by a 56-43 margin.New Jersey weighed in for this election as about 4% more Republican than the national average.New Jersey in this era was a swing state with a slight Republican lean, and Gerald Ford, a moderate Republican, held enough appeal among New Jersey's many moderate suburban voters to carry the state 50-48 even as Jimmy Carter narrowly won nationally by a 50-48 margin.This marked the last time a Democrat won the presidency without carrying New Jersey.

The 1960 United States presidential election in Vermont took place on November 8, 1960, as part of the 1960 United States Presidential Election which was held throughout all 50 states. Voters chose three representatives, or electors to the Electoral College, who voted for president and vice president.Vermont was won by the Republican nominee, incumbent Vice President Richard Nixon of California, and his running mate Ambassador Henry Cabot Lodge, Jr. of Massachusetts, defeating Democratic Senator John F. Kennedy of Massachusetts and his running mate Senate Majority Leader Lyndon B. Johnson of Texas.Nixon took 58.65% of the vote to Kennedy’s 41.35%, a margin of 17.30%.Vermont historically was a bastion of liberal Northeastern Republicanism, and by 1960 the Green Mountain State had gone Republican in every presidential election since the founding of the Republican Party. From 1856 to 1956, Vermont had had the longest streak of voting Republican of any state, having never voted Democratic before, and this tradition continued in 1960. This election would prove to be the conclusion of a 104-year winning streak, as Vermont would flip to the Democrats four years later in 1964.As Kennedy won a razor-thin victory over Nixon nationally, Vermont weighed in as about seventeen percent more Republican than the national average, making it the fourth most Republican state in the nation in the 1960 election.Kennedy, an Irish Catholic Democrat from neighboring Massachusetts, did however improve dramatically on the performance of Democrat Adlai Stevenson in Vermont in 1952 and 1956. In both of those years Stevenson had taken less than 30% of the vote against Republican Dwight Eisenhower, who had received more than 70% of the vote in Vermont and had swept every county in the state.Nixon won eleven of the fourteen counties in Vermont, losing three counties in the northwestern part of the state. The three northwestern counties of Vermont had long been Democratic enclaves in an otherwise Republican state through the 1930s and 1940s, but had gone Republican in the 1950s for Eisenhower. Only the second Roman Catholic to be nominated for president by a major party, Kennedy's appeal to Catholics and ethnic working class voters brought northwestern Vermont back into the Democratic column in 1960. Kennedy won Chittenden County, the most populous county, home to the state's largest city, Burlington. Chittenden County had been the only county in Vermont to flip to the Democrats for the first Roman Catholic nominee Al Smith in 1928. Kennedy also won Franklin County and Grand Isle County, which had joined Chittenden in voting Democratic for Franklin Roosevelt in 1932, even as the rest of the state remained reliably Republican. Thus the split between the northwest and the rest of the state was a familiar result typical of New Deal coalition era elections in Vermont.

The 1928 United States presidential election in New Jersey took place on November 6, 1928. All contemporary 48 states were part of the 1928 United States presidential election. New Jersey voters chose 14 electors to the Electoral College, which selected the president and vice president.New Jersey was won by the Republican nominees, Secretary of Commerce Herbert Hoover of California and his running mate Senate Majority Leader Charles Curtis of Kansas. Hoover and Curtis defeated the Democratic nominees, Governor Alfred E. Smith of New York and his running mate Senator Joseph Taylor Robinson of Arkansas.Hoover carried New Jersey with 59.77% of the vote to Smith's 39.79%, a victory margin of 19.98%.Finishing in a distant third was the Socialist Party candidate Norman Thomas, with only 0.32%.New Jersey in this era was a staunchly Republican state, having not given a majority of the vote to a Democratic presidential candidate since 1892. (In 1912, Woodrow Wilson, then the sitting Governor of New Jersey, won the state's electoral votes, but with a plurality of only 41% in a 3-way race against a split Republican field, with former Republican President Theodore Roosevelt running as a third party candidate against incumbent Republican President William Howard Taft. Wilson lost the state to the GOP by a decisive 12-point margin in a head-to-head match-up in 1916.)As Herbert Hoover was winning a third consecutive nationwide Republican landslide amidst the economic boom and social good feelings of the Roaring Twenties under popular Republican leadership, New Jersey easily remained in the Republican column.However Smith for his part did make dramatic gains for the Democratic Party in New Jersey, laying the groundwork for ultimately turning the state Democratic just four years later in 1932. In 1920, Republican Warren G. Harding had carried the state over Democrat James M. Cox by a massive 68-28 margin. In 1924, southern Democrat John W. Davis had received only 27% of the vote in the state to Republican Calvin Coolidge's 62%. Even as Hoover won a third nationwide Republican landslide, New Jersey swung 15-20 points toward the Democrats over the previous 1920s GOP performances in the state, with Smith taking nearly 40% of the statewide vote.On the county level map, reflecting the decisiveness of his victory, Hoover won 20 of the state's 21 counties.Despite losing ground overall at the state level, Hoover made gains in rural parts of the state; his strongest county win by far was in rural Salem County at the southernmost tip of South Jersey by the Delaware border, where he broke 80% of the vote, a dramatic improvement over the 60% vote shares won in the county by Republicans in 1920 and 1924.However Al Smith, a New York City native, and Roman Catholic of Irish, Italian and German immigrant heritage, appealed greatly to urban areas populated by ethnic immigrant communities, laying the groundwork for a new urban Democratic coalition. Urban parts of New Jersey, particularly in North Jersey which shared close ties with New York City, swung in Smith's favor. Essex County, home to Newark, swung Democratic, as did Middlesex County, Passaic County, Union County, Bergen County, and Mercer County.But by far the greatest Democratic swing occurred in heavily populated Hudson County, part of the New York City metro area, and populated by many urban ethnic Catholic immigrant communities. Despite losing every other county in the state, Al Smith won Hudson County with a commanding majority of more than 60% of the vote.

The United States pro-choice movement (also known as the United States abortion-rights movement) is a sociopolitical movement in the United States supporting the view that a woman should have the legal right to an elective abortion, meaning the right to terminate her pregnancy, and is part of a broader global abortion-rights movement. The pro-choice movement consists of a variety of organizations, with no single centralized decision-making body.A key point in abortion rights in the United States was the U.S. Supreme Court's 1973 decision in Roe v. Wade, which struck down most state laws restricting abortion, thereby decriminalizing and legalizing elective abortion in a number of states.On the other side of the abortion debate in the United States is the movement to extend rights to the pre-born at the expense of restricting the rights of pregnant women, the pro-life movement. Within this group many argue that human life begins at conception.

This would also be the first time since 1968 that Texas would back the losing candidate in a presidential election as well.Texas was one of few states in the U.S where Ross Perot won any counties, namely Irion, Somervell, Grayson, and Loving. Perot was the first third-party candidate to win any Texas counties since George Wallace in 1968.

Anderson ran as a third-party candidate with some success in the Northeast, Western Washington and some college towns; however in conservative, Mormon Utah, Anderson possessed little appeal and could not exceed 9.4 percent of the vote in any county, polling merely three votes in Piute County and only 1.4 percent in Wayne County.

The 1980 United States presidential election in New Jersey took place on November 4, 1980. All fifty states and the District of Columbia, were part of the 1980 United States presidential election. New Jersey voters chose seventeen electors to the Electoral College, which selected the president and vice president.New Jersey was won by the Republican nominees, former actor and Governor Ronald Reagan of California and former CIA Director George H.W. Bush of Texas. Reagan and Bush defeated the Democratic nominees, incumbent President Jimmy Carter of Georgia and his running mate incumbent Vice President Walter Mondale of Minnesota. Also in the running was former Republican Congressman John B. Anderson of Illinois, who ran as an Independent with former Ambassador and Governor Patrick Lucey of Wisconsin.Reagan carried New Jersey with 51.97 percent of the vote to Carter’s 38.56 percent, a margin of 13.42 percent.Anderson came in a strong but distant third, with 7.88 percent of the vote.Reagan won eighteen of the state’s twenty-one counties, with Carter only holding onto the three most heavily Democratic counties in New Jersey: Essex County, Hudson County, and Mercer County.New Jersey weighed in for this election as almost 4% more Republican than the national average.New Jersey in this era was a swing state with a slight Republican tilt; four years earlier, in 1976, the state had narrowly carried for Republican Gerald Ford over Jimmy Carter by a 50–48 margin, as Carter won nationally over Ford by a similarly narrow 50–48 margin. However, in 1980, with Reagan winning convincingly at the national level, the state easily remained in the Republican column. Carter was also hurt in the state by the candidacy of John Anderson, who had been a liberal Republican Congressman and whose campaign appealed strongly to Northeastern liberals and moderates who viewed Reagan as being too extreme and too far to the right, but who were dissatisfied with the status quo under the Carter Administration. Carter bled a substantial amount of support among such liberals and moderates in New Jersey who would likely have leaned Democratic in 1980 but instead voted for Anderson as a protest vote, pushing Carter below forty percent and widening Reagan’s margin over Carter.

The 1912 United States presidential election in Washington took place on November 5, 1912, as part of the 1912 United States presidential election.

Bush (R-Texas) with 48.02 percent of the popular vote over Governor Bill Clinton (D-Arkansas) with 39.88 percent. Businessman Ross Perot (I-Texas) finished in third, with 11.55 percent of the popular vote. Clinton ultimately won the national vote, defeating both incumbent President Bush and Perot.This election marked the completion of South Carolina’s transformation from one of the strongest Democratic states in the country to a reliably Republican one. For every election from 1880 to 1960, South Carolina had voted for the Democratic nominee, almost always by wide margins and by percentages of over nine-tenths in every election from 1900 to 1944. However, ever since Barry Goldwater carried the state in 1964, the state had lost its “Safe Democratic” status and moved towards the Republicans, being carried by them in five out of the preceding six elections and being won only by native Southerner Jimmy Carter. Even as liberal and secular New England states such as Vermont trended towards the Democrats with the conservative movement in the 1980s, South Carolina, a conservative and religious Southern state, would trend towards the Republicans along with other states of the Deep South. From this election onwards, it and the others would be considered safe red states.At the time of the election, Clinton was only the second Democrat to win without carrying South Carolina, along with Lyndon B. Johnson. As of the 2016 presidential election, this is the last election in which Edgefield County voted for a Democratic Presidential candidate.

The 1968 United States presidential election in New Hampshire took place on November 5, 1968, as part of the 1968 United States presidential election, which was held throughout all 50 states and the District of Columbia. Voters chose 4 representatives, or electors to the Electoral College, who voted for president and vice president.New Hampshire was won by the Republican nominees, former Vice President Richard Nixon of California and his running mate Governor Spiro Agnew of Maryland. Nixon and Agnew defeated the Democratic nominees, incumbent Vice President Hubert H. Humphrey of Minnesota and his running mate Senator Edmund Muskie of Maine.Nixon took 52.10% of the vote to Humphrey's 43.93%, a margin of 8.18%.Like the rest of Upper New England, New Hampshire in this era normally leaned Republican, however the state had voted overwhelmingly Democratic just four years earlier in 1964, when the staunch conservatism of Republican Barry Goldwater drove the liberal Northeastern United States, including New Hampshire, to deliver landslide victories to Democratic incumbent Lyndon B. Johnson. In 1964 Johnson had carried New Hampshire by a landslide 64-36 margin.In 1968, the GOP sought to recover from their crippling defeat with Goldwater, and the party looked to former Vice President and the party’s narrowly defeated 1960 presidential nominee, Richard Nixon. Nixon was seen as a mainstream moderate Republican who could unite the competing factions of the Republican Party, and win back the moderate voters that Goldwater had alienated. The party recovered successfully and won back the White House and New Hampshire was returned to the Republican column. However, with the four other New England states voting for Humphrey, New Hampshire became one of the two states in the region (the other being neighboring Vermont) to vote for Nixon.The American Independent candidate, Southern populist Governor George Wallace of Alabama, did not have a serious impact on the race. While taking 13.53% nationally and winning electoral votes from five Southern states, Wallace would take only 3.76% of the vote in New Hampshire. Wallace’s base of support was in the South, and he had little appeal in Northeastern states. New Hampshire would be Wallace’s fifth weakest state in the nation.The county map results followed a familiar pattern of the post-New Deal era, with Nixon winning seven counties to Humphrey’s three. Since Franklin Roosevelt’s election in 1932, in every close election or Democratic victory, Hillsborough County, Strafford County, and Coös County would vote Democratic, while Carroll County would be the most Republican county. This pattern endured in 1968 for the last time, with Humphrey winning the three core New Deal Democratic counties, while Carroll County was the only county in the state where Nixon broke seventy percent of the vote. Humphrey's strongest county was Coös County, which he won by a 53-44 margin – this being along with 2004 one of only two occurrences since 1892 when Coös County has supported a losing presidential candidate.As Nixon narrowly eked out a victory over Humphrey nationally, New Hampshire's results in 1968 made the state about 7% more Republican than the national average.

The 2016 United States presidential election in New Hampshire was won with a plurality by Hillary Clinton and an 0.4% margin, on November 8, 2016, as part of the 2016 General Election.

Dewey of New York, over the Democratic nominee, incumbent President Franklin D. Roosevelt of New York.

The 1936 United States presidential election in Wyoming took place on November 3, 1936, as part of the 1936 United States presidential election.

The 1992 United States presidential election in New York took place on November 3, 1992, as part of the 1992 United States presidential election. Voters chose thirty-three representatives, or electors to the Electoral College, who voted for president and vice president.New York was won by the Democratic candidate, Governor Bill Clinton of Arkansas) who received 49.73 percent of the vote over incumbent Republican President George H.W. Bush of Texas, who received 33.88 percent. Independent candidate Ross Perot, a billionaire Texas businessman, finished in third, with 15.75 percent of the popular vote. Clinton ultimately won the national election, defeating incumbent President Bush.Clinton's double-digit 15.85 percent margin of victory would mark the beginning of a dramatic shift toward the Democratic Party in New York, from a Democratic leaning swing state to a solidly blue state that Democrats would carry by landslide margins in every election since. In the preceding six elections, the state had gone Republican three times and Democratic three times, all but once decided by a single-digit margin. In the six elections that have followed 1992, Democratic presidential candidates have received between 58 percent and 64 percent of the vote, making it one of the most overwhelmingly Democratic states in the nation, largely as a result of trends that began in 1992.Despite Ross Perot’s strong showing as a third-party candidate, taking votes away from the major party nominees statewide and nationally, Clinton increased the total Democratic vote share in the five heavily populated boroughs of New York City to 69 percent in 1992, compared to the 66 percent received by Democrat Michael Dukakis in the 1988 election, while Bush fell from 33 percent in 1988 to only 24 percent in his re-election bid.In addition, Clinton also picked up wins in heavily populated suburban counties around New York City that had long been reliably Republican, namely Westchester County just north of the city, and Nassau County on Long Island, which have remained loyally Democratic in every election that has followed, as well as Rockland County. Bush only carried Suffolk County by 1.5 percent, down from a landslide 21.8 percent victory margin in that county in 1988. Republican dominance of the populous suburbs had been crucial to previous Republican victories in the state in order to overcome the massive Democratic advantage in New York City. As the city became even more Democratic while downstate suburban voters defected from the GOP to the Democrats, Republican hopes of competing in New York State would vanish following this election.Bush performed more strongly in traditionally Republican upstate New York, where he won most rural counties, although he lost a number of counties he had won in 1988 to Clinton. Clinton won a handful of rural upstate counties, and more significantly scored strong wins in counties home to the cities of Albany, Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse, and the college town of Ithaca, all of which have become reliable Democratic bastions in upstate New York.Clinton's victory margin would make New York State about 10 percentage points more Democratic than the nation as a whole in the 1992 election. As of the 2016 presidential election, this is the last election in which Clinton County and Columbia County voted for a Republican presidential candidate.

The 1976 United States presidential election in Texas was held on November 2, 1976.Texas was won by former governor Jimmy Carter of Georgia with 51.14 percent of the vote, giving him 26 electoral votes. He also beat the incumbent President Gerald Ford in the general election. As of the 2016 presidential election, this remains the last time that a Democratic candidate won Texas.Carter’s southern roots as a former governor of Georgia struck a chord with many voters in Texas, along with strong anti-Republican sentiment following Watergate. Still, this was a relatively weak performance for a victorious Democratic candidate in Texas, and two factors can be identified. One was Carter’s underwhelming performance in the more rural counties, and the second being President Ford’s strong performances in Dallas and Harris counties, and some of their surrounding suburbs. The rise of the Republican Party in these areas would result in Ronald Reagan’s win in the state four years later.Carter carried 191 of the state’s 254 counties, including seventy-four which have never voted Democratic since, namely Grayson County, Chambers County, Motley County, Gaines County, Live Oak County, Mason County, Sherman County, Colorado County, Stephens County, Lamb County, Oldham County, Floyd County, Real County, Fayette County, Terry County, Donley County, Parmer County, Dallam County, Moore County, Hale County, Wheeler County, Bailey County, Armstrong County, Hamilton County, Goliad County, Carson County, Childress County, Collingsworth County, Wilbarger County, Wilson County, Castro County, Eastland County, Gonzales County, Parker County, Hood County, Johnson County, Anderson County, Brazoria County, Matagorda County, Kinney County, Medina County, Wharton County, Lavaca County, Archer County, Bosque County, Aransas County, Bell County, Borden County, Brown County, Burnet County, Callahan County, Cochran County, Coryell County, Walker County, Shackelford County, King County, Jeff Davis County, Wichita County, McLennan County, Llano County, Williamson County, Hockley County, Garza County, Hunt County, Young County, Wood County, Jackson County, Lynn County, Howard County, Ellis County, and Lampasas County.

The 1932 United States presidential election in Utah took place on November 8, 1932. All contemporary forty-eight states took part, and Utah voters selected four voters to the Electoral College, who voted for president and vice president.Utah, like every state west of the Appalachian Mountains, voted for Franklin Roosevelt over Herbert Hoover by a substantial margin, giving the first Democratic victory in the state since 1916 when anti-war sentiment had shifted the state to Woodrow Wilson. Utah’s swing to the Democrats was 23.19 percentage points, much smaller than the national swing of 35.18 percentage points, as the anti-Catholicism which marred the preceding election was less prevalent among the LDS hierarchy than in the South or the Pacific Northwest. Consequently, for this election Utah voted more Republican than the nation at-large for the first time in twenty years, by a margin of 2.29 points on a two-party basis. Hoover managed to retain pluralities in seven of Utah’s twenty-nine counties, although in San Juan County Hoover won by only a solitary vote and in sparsely populated Daggett County by just eleven. This was nonetheless equal with Missouri and behind only Kansas as the most counties in one state west of the Mississippi – in all of which Hoover retained only forty-six counties out of 1,161 – remaining Republican.Herbert Hoover, who had been elected in a third consecutive Republican landslide in 1928, was to become extremely unpopular by the time he was up for re-election in 1932, owing to unemployment rising to a whopping twenty-five percent and Hoover’s Smoot-Hawley Tariff (proposed by long-serving Beehive State Senator Reed Smoot) had cut severely into exports due to retaliatory tariffs from foreign governments.The Mountain States, including Utah, were even more severely hit by the economic downturn than the national average: Utah’s lost consumption between the 1929 crash and the election was about one standard deviation above the national mean. There was also extreme concern over the falling price of silver, of which Utah was a major producer.

The 1944 United States presidential election in New Jersey took place on November 7, 1944. All contemporary 48 states were part of the 1944 United States presidential election. New Jersey voters chose 16 electors to the Electoral College, which selected the president and vice president.New Jersey was won by the Democratic nominees, incumbent President Franklin D. Roosevelt of New York and his running mate Senator Harry S. Truman of Missouri. Roosevelt and Truman defeated the Republican nominees, Governor Thomas E. Dewey of New York and his running mate Governor John W. Bricker of Ohio.Roosevelt narrowly carried New Jersey with 50.31% of the vote to Dewey's 48.95%, a margin of 1.35%. Reflecting the closeness of the statewide result, Roosevelt and Dewey virtually split the state's 21 counties: Roosevelt won 10 counties to Dewey's 11. Despite winning 1 less county, Roosevelt edged out Dewey statewide with decisive victories in some of the most heavily populated parts of the state, while keeping the results close in heavily populated counties that he lost.In North Jersey, Roosevelt maintained his dominance in heavily populated Hudson County, part of the New York City metro area where the New Deal Coalition was very strong, breaking 60% of the vote in the county for the fourth election in a row. Roosevelt also won heavily populated Middlesex County, Mercer County, and Passaic County, although Dewey won majorities in Bergen County, Union County, and Morris County. Dewey also narrowly won Essex County with a plurality.Roosevelt performed much more strongly overall in South Jersey, winning majorities in six out of seven of the southernmost counties in the state; his strongest county win there was urban Camden County, where he broke 60% of the vote. In South Jersey, Dewey won only rural Cape May County. Besides his victories in North Jersey, Dewey also won Monmouth County and Ocean County in the central portion of the state.New Jersey in this era was usually a swing state with a Republican lean, and its results in 1944 adhered to that pattern. Roosevelt had carried the state in the midst of all three of his preceding nationwide victories, but with the exception of his 1936 landslide, always by very narrow margins. As Roosevelt decisively won re-election to an unprecedented fourth term, carrying 36 out of 48 states, New Jersey was his second narrowest victory in the nation. FDR's close 1.35% margin of victory in New Jersey made the state about 6% more Republican than the national average.

The national election was ultimately won by Carter with 50.08 percent of the vote. Virginia was unusual in this election because it was the only state that Ford managed to win in the South besides Oklahoma. Key to Ford’s win were the Richmond and Washington D.C. suburban counties of Henrico and Fairfax, which he won by over forty-two thousand votes. Minus Henrico County, Carter would have won a razor-thin victory by 0.06 percent.Carter did do relatively well in many rural sections of Virginia – for instance he is the solitary Democratic presidential nominee to top forty percent in traditionally arch-Republican Floyd County since Grover Cleveland in 1892.

The 1928 United States presidential election in New York took place on November 6, 1928. All contemporary 48 states were part of the 1928 United States presidential election. New York voters chose 45 electors to the Electoral College, which selected the president and vice president.New York was won by Republican Secretary of Commerce Herbert Hoover of California, who was running against Democratic Governor of New York Alfred E. Smith. Hoover's running mate was Senate Majority Leader Charles Curtis of Kansas, while Smith's running mate was Senator Joseph Taylor Robinson of Arkansas.Hoover won with a plurality of 49.79% of the vote to Smith's 47.44%, a margin of 2.35%. Socialist candidate Norman Thomas finished a distant third, with 2.44%.Although New York was Al Smith's home state and he had been elected governor there, the 1920s were a fiercely Republican decade in American politics, and New York in that era was a fiercely Republican state in presidential elections. In 1928, Herbert Hoover was winning the third consecutive nationwide Republican landslide, and the economic boom and social good feelings of the Roaring Twenties under popular Republican leadership proved too much for Smith to overcome both nationally and in his home state.However Smith's performance in New York was still impressive in the context of the 1920s, and highly significant in shaping the state's political development. In the elections preceding 1928, New York had been more Republican than the nation as a whole, even in the nationwide Republican landslides of 1920 and 1924. Smith's narrow 2-point defeat in the midst of the nationwide Republican landslide of 1928 made New York State a whopping 15% more Democratic than the national average.Smith's 47.44% was also the highest vote share percentage a Democratic presidential candidate had received in New York State since former New York Governor Grover Cleveland won the state in 1892.Smith dramatically improved upon how Democrats before him had done, and laid the groundwork for turning the state Democratic in 1932 and beyond. In 1920 and 1924, Republicans had swept every county in New York State and Democrats had received less than 30% of the vote. In 1928, Smith came within 2 points of winning the state by sweeping all 5 boroughs of heavily populated New York City, winning the state capital of Albany and Albany County along with neighboring Rensselaer County, and winning two counties in northern New York along the Saint Lawrence River, Clinton County and Franklin County.Key to Smith's strength in New York State was his sweep of the massively populated 5 boroughs of New York City. A New York City native, Smith took over 60% of the vote in Manhattan and the Bronx, and also won majorities in Brooklyn, Queens, and Staten Island. Up to this point, 1928 was the strongest victory ever for a Democrat in NYC. Smith, a Roman Catholic of Irish, Italian, and German immigrant heritage, held special appeal to Catholic and ethnic immigrant communities that populated cities like New York and Boston. The first Catholic to be nominated on a major-party ticket, Smith's Catholicism would severely weaken his candidacy in many rural parts of the country, especially in the South, but would prove an asset in appealing to voters in New York.The urban, ethnic coalition that delivered New York City to Al Smith would prove to be a harbinger of long-term realignment of both the city and the state toward the Democratic Party. 1928 began a Democratic winning streak in New York City that has never been broken since, as New York would be solidified as one of the most Democratic cities in the United States, and a major obstacle to overcome for any Republican seeking to compete in New York State. 1928 also turned the state capital of Albany, which had previously been a Republican city, into a Democratic bastion in upstate New York.Hoover for his part was able to hold on to New York State's electoral votes in 1928 by sweeping much of traditionally staunchly Republican upstate New York and Long Island. In addition, the turnout and margins were not yet there in New York City to overcome Republican dominance in the rest of the state. In 1932, Franklin Roosevelt would build on Smith's coalition to flip New York State into the Democratic column, winning the state with virtually the same county map as Smith, but with stronger margins and turnout.

The 1920 United States presidential election in Vermont took place on November 2, 1920, as part of the 1920 United States Presidential Election which was held throughout all contemporary 48 states.

Harding of Ohio, over the Democratic nominee, Governor James M. Cox of Ohio. Harding ran with Governor Calvin Coolidge of Massachusetts, while Cox ran with Assistant Secretary of the Navy Franklin D. Roosevelt of New York.Harding won in a massive landslide, taking 75.82% of the vote, while Cox took 23.25%, a Republican victory margin of 52.57%.Vermont historically was a bastion of liberal Northeastern Republicanism, and by 1920 the Green Mountain State had gone Republican in every presidential election since the founding of the Republican Party. From 1856 to 1916, Vermont had had the longest streak of voting Republican of any state, having never voted Democratic before, and this tradition easily continued amidst the nationwide Republican landslide in 1920.Harding was also helped in the state by the local popularity of his running mate, Calvin Coolidge, a traditional New England Yankee born in the small-town of Plymouth Notch, Vermont, who had started his political career nearby as Governor of Massachusetts.Harding swept every county in Vermont by landslide margins, taking more than 60% of the vote in all 14 of them. Harding broke 70% of the vote in 11 counties, and even broke 80% in 5 of them.Vermont would be the third most Republican state in the union in terms of victory margin, and the second most Republican state in terms of vote share. Vermont would weigh in as over 26% more Republican than the national average in the 1920 election.

The 1948 United States presidential election in Oklahoma took place on November 2, 1948. All forty-eight states were part of the 1948 United States presidential election. Oklahoma voters chose ten electors to the Electoral College, who voted for president and vice president.Incumbent President Harry S. Truman won Oklahoma by a landslide 25.5 percent margin of victory. This made Oklahoma the fourth most Democratic state in the nation, and 21.01 percent more Democratic than the nation as a whole. Apart from the FDR landslides of 1932 and 1936 it remains the best performance by a Democrat in Oklahoma’s history as a state, and only in 1932, 1924 and 1920 was Oklahoma more Democratic relative to the nation at-large.Up to this election, Oklahoma was a reliably Democratic state, with the party nominee winning all of the first eleven elections held in the state except for James M. Cox in 1920 and Catholic Al Smith in 1928. Subsequently, like other states of the Solid South, Oklahoma has turned into a Republican bastion. In the landslide election of 1952 and 1956, Adlai Stevenson II won no antebellum free-soil or postbellum state; however Oklahoma remained more Democratic than the nation as a whole. In 1960, John F. Kennedy lost Oklahoma, and indeed most postbellum states, badly due to anti-Catholic sentiment. In 1964, Lyndon Johnson became the last Democratic presidential candidate to carry the state, with only Jimmy Carter in 1976 subsequently reaching 45 percent of the vote, and the past four Democratic nominees not winning one single county between them.At county level in 1948, Truman won all the counties in the state except for two clusters near the Kansas border totalling ten counties, of which only Grant in 1964 and 1976 has voted Democratic since. This is the last occasion the four contiguous counties of Texas, Beaver, Harper and Woods – now forming part of the most Republican and politically and socially conservative region in the nation – have voted Democratic, and also the last time the Democratic Party won Kay County.

The 1980 United States presidential election in Oklahoma took place on November 4, 1980. All fifty states and The District of Columbia were part of the 1980 United States presidential election. Oklahoma voters chose eight electors to the Electoral College, who voted for president and vice president.Oklahoma was won by former California Governor Ronald Reagan (R) by a 25-point landslide.

The 1928 United States presidential election in Vermont took place on November 6, 1928, as part of the 1928 United States Presidential Election which was held throughout all contemporary 48 states. Voters chose 4 representatives, or electors to the Electoral College, who voted for president and vice president.Vermont voted for the Republican nominee, Secretary of Commerce Herbert Hoover of California, over the Democratic nominee, Governor Alfred E. Smith of New York. Hoover's running mate was Senate Majority Leader Charles Curtis of Kansas, while Smith ran with Senator Joseph Taylor Robinson of Arkansas.Hoover took 66.87% of the vote, to Smith's 32.87%, a margin of 34.00%.Vermont historically was a bastion of liberal Northeastern Republicanism, and by 1928 the Green Mountain State had gone Republican in every presidential election since the founding of the Republican Party. From 1856 to 1924, Vermont had had the longest streak of voting Republican of any state, having never voted Democratic before, and this tradition continued amidst a third consecutive nationwide Republican landslide in 1928.While Hoover won the state in a decisive landslide, Smith's performance nevertheless represented a dramatic Democratic improvement in the state. In 1924, Vermont had been the most Republican state in the union, with Republican Calvin Coolidge winning 78.22% to only 15.67% for Democrat John W. Davis, a massive margin of 62.55%. Vermont, like New England and the Northeast as a whole, swung strongly toward the Democrats in 1928, even as Hoover won another decisive Republican victory nationally. Thus in the 1928 election, Vermont fell to being only the fifth most Republican state in the nation, about 16% more Republican than the national average.Hoover carried 13 of the state's 14 counties, many by large margins. But the three northwestern counties of Vermont would by 1932 become staunch Democratic enclaves in an otherwise Republican state, and in 1928 movement toward the Democratic Party in this region would first manifest itself, as Smith won over the votes of urban and ethnic Catholic working class voters. In 1928, Smith became the first Democrat to win Chittenden County, the state's most populous county, home to the state's largest city, Burlington. Just four years earlier, in 1924, Republican Calvin Coolidge had received over 70% of the vote in the county.

Roosevelt of New York, who was running against Republican businessman Wendell Willkie of Indiana. Roosevelt ran with Henry A. Wallace of Iowa as his running mate, and Willkie ran with Senator Charles L. McNary of Oregon.Roosevelt won New Hampshire by 6.44 percent, at the time the best performance by a Democrat in this traditionally Republican state since the latter party was founded, and since bettered only by Lyndon Johnson in 1964 and Barack Obama in 2008. Roosevelt’s gain in New Hampshire and other New England states, in an election when Willkie carried almost seven hundred counties that the President had won during his landslide four years beforehand, was due to support in the region for helping Britain and France during World War II.

A moderate amount of campaigning took place here, as Kerry won every poll after October 14, and each with between 47% to 53% of the vote. Despite the state having been very competitive in 2000, Oregon is a consistent blue state that a Republican has not won in a presidential election since 1984. Kerry won this state with a larger margin, indicating Oregon's Democratic trend. As of the 2016 presidential election, this is the last election in which Clackamas County voted for the Republican candidate.

Voters chose 4 representatives, or electors to the Electoral College, who voted for president and vice president.Vermont was won by the Republican nominees, incumbent President William Howard Taft, and his running mate Vice President James S. Sherman. Taft and Sherman defeated the Progressive Party candidates, former President Theodore Roosevelt and his running mate California Governor Hiram Johnson, and the Democratic nominees, New Jersey Governor Woodrow Wilson and Indiana Governor Thomas R. Marshall.Taft won the state with a plurality of 37.13 percent, to Roosevelt's 35.22 percent, with Wilson in third place at 24.43 percent. Taft’s victory margin over Roosevelt was 1.91 percent.Vermont historically was a bastion of liberal Northeastern Republicanism, and by 1912 the Green Mountain State had gone Republican in every presidential election since the founding of the Republican Party. From 1856 to 1908, Vermont had had the longest streak of voting Republican of any state, having never voted Democratic before, and this tradition continued in 1912.Vermont was one of only two states (along with Utah) to vote for incumbent Republican President William Howard Taft, who was pushed into third place nationally by the strong third party candidacy of Theodore Roosevelt, a former Republican president who ran in 1912 with his own Bull Moose Party. Taft and Roosevelt split the Republican vote nationally in 1912, with Roosevelt coming in second place behind Wilson nationwide and carrying six states. However Vermont Republicans proved to be mostly loyal to President Taft as the official Republican nominee, allowing Taft to narrowly edge out Roosevelt to carry the state, leaving Wilson a distant third. Were Taft and Roosevelt voters united behind a single Republican candidate, they would have combined to over 72 percent of the vote in Vermont.Vermont was the second most Republican state in nation in 1912, only beaten by Utah, Taft's sole other state win. However Taft's margin over Wilson was much greater in Vermont than in Utah or any other state.Taft carried seven counties in Vermont to Roosevelt’s six, while Wilson won only tiny Grand Isle County in the far northwest of the state, with a plurality of less than 40 percent of the vote. This was the first time since Lewis Cass carried Washington County in 1848 that a Democrat had carried any of Vermont’s counties.

Carter won South Carolina by a margin of 13.04 percent above Ford.Ford managed to carry just three of South Carolina’s counties, while Nixon managed to carry all forty-six counties four years earlier. Had Ford managed to win the state, South Carolina would have the longest streak of consecutive Republican wins, last voting Democratic in 1960.

Consequently, he performed especially weakly for a Democrat in New York, losing every county in the state except for Schoharie County upstate. This included New York City, where McKinley outpolled Bryan by about sixty thousand votes. McKinley would lose New York City to Bryan in their 1900 rematch four years later, and New York City would not vote Republican again until 1920.

New Hampshire had been narrowly carried by Democrat Franklin Roosevelt 3 out of 4 times, although the state narrowly reverted to the GOP in 1948. However Eisenhower's unique personal appeal brought the state decisively back into the Republican column in 1952.Eisenhower won 9 of the state's ten counties.Since Franklin Roosevelt won them in 1932, the counties of Hillsborough County, Strafford County, and Coos County had become reliable New Deal Democratic base counties, voting for Roosevelt all four times as well as for Harry S. Truman. However Eisenhower in 1952 won back Strafford County and Coos County for the GOP, although Stevenson won a majority in Hillsborough County, home to Manchester and Nashua, which had been a reliable Democratic bastion since voting for Democrat Al Smith in 1928.Carroll County had long been the most Republican county in New Hampshire, voting 60% against FDR all four times and over 70% for Thomas E. Dewey in 1948. Eisenhower would receive over 80% of vote in the county in 1952.As Eisenhower won a decisive election victory nationally, New Hampshire's results would make the state almost 11% more Republican than the national average.
