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 3,902 blank, void, over- or under-vote or 'none of these candidates' ballots, which the source reports as lines of their own.
  2. 1960 The official table's state total (1,544,180) is 4 more than the tickets it lists; the difference is counted under other candidates.
  3. 1952 The official table notes: Others: scattering (footnote 8).
  4. 1928 The official table notes: Footnote 4: 'Scattering votes, 2, included in grand total.'
  5. 1920 The official table prints no state total here; the total is the sum of the tickets it lists.
  6. 1920 The official table notes: The summary table shows no Socialist or Prohibition figure for Florida; the state page (PDF page 3) gives Socialist 5,189 and Prohibitionist 5,124 (in SocState/ProhState). The state page also lists 'Republican and White Republican (one candidate)' 44,853, 'Republican' 37,409 and 'Republican (White)' 10,118: 44,853 is the highest Republican elector vote, the figure the summary uses; the other two are not added.
  7. 1896 The official table prints no state total here; the total is the sum of the tickets it lists.
  8. 1892 Florida Republicans put up no electors for Harrison in 1892 and urged their supporters to back Weaver.
  9. 1892 The official table prints no state total here; the total is the sum of the tickets it lists.
  10. 1884 The official table prints no state total here; the total is the sum of the tickets it lists.
  11. 1880 The official table prints no state total here; the total is the sum of the tickets it lists.
  12. 1876 These are the returns certified by Florida's canvassing board; the result was disputed and decided by the Electoral Commission.
  13. 1876 This state's 1876 return was disputed and the site follows the returns certified by the state's canvassing board (see docs/data/votes-historic.md). The Tribune Almanac 1878, p. 60, prints Hayes 23,849 and Tilden 22,923 without saying which return it reports, so its figures are not used for this state.
  14. 1872 Horace Greeley was the Liberal Republican nominee and was also endorsed by the Democratic Party; he is listed under the Democratic column, where the county file records his votes.
  15. 1872 The official table prints no state total here; the total is the sum of the tickets it lists.
  16. 1868 The state legislature chose the electors; there was no popular vote.
  17. 1860 State popular vote not yet sourced.
  18. 1856 State popular vote not yet sourced.
  19. 1852 State popular vote not yet sourced.
