Reading the 1984 result in New Hampshire

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 Cold War Realignment — Nixon, Reagan, and the Republican South.
In the national count, Ronald Reagan took 525 of the 538 electoral votes, against Walter Mondale's 13. Ronald Reagan led the national popular vote with 58.77% of the ballots cast.
