Prior to that year, no Democrat had ever won more than 50% of the vote in Ohio. The closest was Rutherford Hayes in 1876. Grover Cleveland won by winning in New York. In 1912, Wilson carried Ohio but only with a 40% plurality. Based on electoral history alone, there is no reason to believe that Wilson had a chance in Ohio. Had he lost Ohio, he would have lost the election.
