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. 1968 The official table notes: Others 1,519: footnote 8, 'People's Constitutional Party.'
  2. 1956 The official table notes: Others: votes for New Party (footnote 9).
  3. 1952 The official table notes: Hallinan figure: Independent-Progressive votes (footnote 13). Others: Christian Nationalist Party votes (footnote 3).
  4. 1920 The official table prints no state total here; the total is the sum of the tickets it lists.
