A landslide here is measured as the winner's electoral votes minus those of the next-highest candidate. Only elections someone won with an Electoral College majority are ranked. Not ranked: the elections of 1789–1800, when every elector cast two votes, so the gap between the top two names is not a margin of victory; and the House-decided elections of 1800 and 1824, where no candidate won an Electoral College majority.
