1912
Reading the 1912 result in New Hampshire
New Hampshire backed Wilson (Democratic) in the 1912 presidential election, casting 4 electoral votes for the ticket. That placed New Hampshire with the eventual winner: Woodrow Wilson went on to take the presidency, and New Hampshire was part of his column.
The result flipped New Hampshire away from the Republican ticket it had backed in each of the previous 6 cycles. The region divided — Massachusetts and Maine joined New Hampshire for the Democratic ticket, while Vermont did not. Over its 59 recorded presidential cycles, New Hampshire has backed the Republican party more than any other — 28 times in all. The vote fell within the Progressive Era — Trust-busting, suffrage, and World War I.
Nationally, Woodrow Wilson finished with 435 of the 531 electoral votes to Theodore Roosevelt's 88. Woodrow Wilson led the national popular vote with 41.84% of the ballots cast.
