Title: Which state was the bigger swing state from 1952-2000: Ohio or Missouri Post by: OSR stands with Israel on May 28, 2019, 03:43:38 PM Both went for the winner all but one time in that period

When Missouri missed, it missed a landslide. Ohio Though Delaware and Nevada also only missed 1 election in that timespan, and Nevada was probably a bigger swing state than Ohio.

EDIT: Ohio voted for Nixon in 1960 by much more than Missouri went for Stevenson.

Delaware never missed an election until 2000, while Nevada only missed one election (1976) with a Democratic candidate who was a horrible fit for the state at a time where the state was trending Republican. |
