Wisconsin in 1932

The 1932 contest saw Wisconsin line up behind Roosevelt, delivering 12 electoral votes to the Democratic ticket. That placed Wisconsin with the eventual winner: Franklin D. Roosevelt went on to take the presidency, and Wisconsin was part of his column.

The result flipped Wisconsin away from the Republican it had supported in 1928. Wisconsin did not move alone — neighboring Minnesota, Iowa, Illinois, and Michigan broke the same way in 1932. Over its 45 recorded presidential cycles, Wisconsin has backed the Republican party more than any other — 24 times in all. The vote fell within the New Deal Coalition — FDR, civil rights, and the long Democratic majority.

Nationally, Franklin D. Roosevelt finished with 472 of the 531 electoral votes to Herbert Hoover's 59. Franklin D. Roosevelt led the national popular vote with 57.41% of the ballots cast.
