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 5,365 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 100,618 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. 2008 The source reports 33,134 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'.
  4. 2000 The source reports 32,084 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'.
  5. 1996 The source reports 121,239 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'.
  6. 1964 The official table notes: Others figure 34 marked footnote 2: 'Write-in.'
  7. 1956 The official table notes: Others: 19,820, no footnote.
  8. 1952 The official table notes: Others: Christian Nationalist Party votes (footnote 3).

  12. 1888 The official table prints a state total of 303,736, which does not agree with its own figures (they add up to 303,784); their sum is used.
  13. 1884 The official table prints no state total here; the total is the sum of the tickets it lists.
  14. 1880 The official table prints no state total here; the total is the sum of the tickets it lists.
