Hola!

Which states have consistantly voted for the winner in Presidential elections? I think Tennessee has a good winning streak, only picked the loser once since 1932.

Which state always picks the loser?

Which state has voted for the same party the longest? Probably Hawaii since 1960 elections, all Democrat. Utah hasn't voted Democrat since 1964. Minnesota since 1972.

Any other comments?

You're incorrect about Hawaii.  Hawaii voted for Nixon in 1972 and Reagan in 1984.

There are a number of states that have not voted Democratic since 1964, mostly in the mountain west, but also Indiana.

Maine seems to have a knack for picking losers, while Missouri has a very good record of picking winners.  The last time Missouri voted with the loser was 1956, when it voted for Adlai Stevenson.

With the exception of 1980 and 1984, Massachusetts has voted Democratic as far back as I can remember.  Rhode Island voted Republican in 1972 and 1984, but otherwise voted Democratic as far back as I can remember.  Except for 1972, Minnesota has voted Democratic for as long as I can remember.
