What happened in New Hampshire, 1944
In 1944, New Hampshire awarded its 4 electoral votes to Roosevelt of the Democratic party. New Hampshire ended up on the winning side — Franklin D. Roosevelt captured the White House that year.
The result flipped New Hampshire away from the Republican it had supported in 1940. The region divided — Massachusetts joined New Hampshire for the Democratic ticket, while Vermont and Maine did not. Across the 59 presidential elections New Hampshire has taken part in, it has most often sided with the Republican party (28 times). The vote fell within the New Deal Coalition — FDR, civil rights, and the long Democratic majority.
In the national count, Franklin D. Roosevelt took 432 of the 531 electoral votes, against Thomas E. Dewey's 99. Franklin D. Roosevelt led the national popular vote with 53.39% of the ballots cast.
