186418Rep LincolnState popular vote not yet sourced.

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. 2000 The source reports 37,459 votes under the label 'Independent' on one line with no candidate name, so the people they went to cannot be shown separately; they are counted in 'Other candidates'.
  2. 1988 The source reports 16,359 votes under the label 'Independent' 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 Schmitz's electors appeared on the Kansas ballot under the Conservative label (ballot fact, not printed in the table).
  4. 1968 Wallace's electors appeared on the Kansas ballot under the Conservative label.
  5. 1968 The official table notes: No American Independent entry; the Conservative column shows 88,921 for Kansas.
  6. 1928 The official table notes: Footnote 7 on the figure in the Foster column (320): 'Independent.'
  7. 1920 The official table prints no state total here; the total is the sum of the tickets it lists.
  8. 1896 The official table prints no state total here; the total is the sum of the tickets it lists.
  9. 1892 The Democrats ran no electors here in 1892 and backed Weaver's Populist ticket, so Cleveland is not listed (World Almanac 1894, p. 375).
  10. 1892 The official table prints no state total here; the total is the sum of the tickets it lists.
  11. 1888 The official table's state total (334,035) is 3,819 more than the tickets it lists; the difference is counted under other candidates.
  12. 1884 The official table prints no state total here; the total is the sum of the tickets it lists.
  13. 1880 The official table prints no state total here; the total is the sum of the tickets it lists.
  14. 1876 The official table prints no state total here; the total is the sum of the tickets it lists.
  15. 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.
  16. 1872 The official table prints no state total here; the total is the sum of the tickets it lists.
  17. 1868 The official table prints no state total here; the total is the sum of the tickets it lists.
  18. 1864 State popular vote not yet sourced.
