First sourced year

Shares are of the state’s total vote for president. Margin is the leader’s lead over the second-placed candidate. “Others named” lists every other candidate the figures give a line of their own.

Notes on the figures

  1. 2020 'Other candidates' includes 1,127 blank, void, over- or under-vote or 'none of these candidates' ballots, which the source reports as lines of their own.
  2. 2016 The source reports 9,201 write-in votes on one line with no candidate name, so the people they went to cannot be shown separately; they are counted in 'Other candidates'.
  3. 1972 The official table notes: American Independent 6,903 is printed one line up, on Alabama's line (see AL).
