1932
What happened in Wyoming, 1932
In 1932, Wyoming awarded its 3 electoral votes to Roosevelt of the Democratic party. That placed Wyoming with the eventual winner: Franklin D. Roosevelt went on to take the presidency, and Wyoming was part of his column.
The result flipped Wyoming away from the Republican ticket it had backed in each of the previous 3 cycles. Wyoming did not move alone — neighboring Montana, South Dakota, Nebraska, Colorado, Utah, and Idaho broke the same way in 1932. Over its 34 recorded presidential cycles, Wyoming 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.
