Talk:United States presidential elections in Ohio

Did Ohio vote for a national loser 9 times or 10 ?

edit

The overall results table at the top says that Ohio voted for 10 national losers, but I count only 9, four before the GOP's founding in 1854 and five afterwards:

  1. 1824 (Henry Clay as a Democratic-Republican vs 3 other D-R’s)
  2. 1836 (Wm Henry Harrison, Whig)
  3. 1844 (Clay as a Whig)
  4. 1848 (Lewis Cass, D)

[Republican Party founded 1854]

  1. 1856 (John C. Frémont, R)
  2. 1884 (James G. Blaine, R)
  3. 1892 (Benj. Harrison, inc. R)
  4. 1944 (Thos E. Dewey, R)
  5. 1960 (Richard M. Nixon, R)

Am I missing something, or is that table?

Ohio seems to have voted for 45 national winners, not 44

edit

To double-check my surmise above that Ohio voted only 9 times, rather than 10, for national losers, I counted the times she voted for a national winner and came up with 45. So I have altered the template at top to 45 winners & 9 losers.

Here are the 45 elections in which I see that Ohio voted for the U.S. winner (interlined in brackets with the 9 votes for losers):

  • 1. Trump 2016
  • 2 & 3 Obama 2012 & 2008
  • 4 & 5. G.W. Bush 2004 & 2000
  • 6 & 7. Clinton 1996 & 1992
  • 8. G.H.W. Bush 1988
  • 9 & 10. Reagan 1984 & 1980
  • 11. Carter 1976
  • 12 & 13. Nixon 1972 & 1968
  • 14. LBJ 1964 [A = Nixon 1960]
  • 15 & 16. Eisenhower 1956 & 1952
  • 17. Truman 1948 [B = Dewey 1944]
  • 18, 19 & 20. FDR 1940, 1936 & 1932
  • 21. Hoover 1928
  • 22. Coolidge 1924
  • 23. Harding 1920
  • 24 & 25. Wilson 1916 & 1912
  • 26. Taft 1908
  • 27. T. Roosevelt 1904
