Arizona in 1984

The 1984 contest saw Arizona line up behind Reagan, delivering 7 electoral votes to the Republican ticket. That placed Arizona with the eventual winner: Ronald Reagan went on to take the presidency, and Arizona was part of his column.

Arizona stayed in the Republican column for the 9th straight cycle, extending a run that began in 1952. Arizona did not move alone — neighboring California, Nevada, Utah, Colorado, and New Mexico broke the same way in 1984. Over its 29 recorded presidential cycles, Arizona has backed the Republican party more than any other — 18 times in all. The vote fell within the Cold War Realignment — Nixon, Reagan, and the Republican South.

Nationally, Ronald Reagan finished with 525 of the 538 electoral votes to Walter Mondale's 13. Ronald Reagan led the national popular vote with 58.77% of the ballots cast.
