....in every election (currently just 1912)

This is a work in progress and will probably for now be mostly just the Republicans and Democrats from 1912-Present,but I'll be adding more soon.

Elections Guy I noticed covered all the strongest states,I thought it was time for a contrast,curiously in landslides said narrow state is often in a region near where the strongest for the losing opponent was (Ex: 1932 the narrowest state to FDR was in New England,where Hoover had his narrowest and strongest victories,but FDR's strongest was in the South)

Anyway with that said.

For Dems

1912: Idaho (32.08% Wilson)
1916: New Hampshire (49.12% Wilson)
1920: Kentucky (49.25% Cox)
1924: Oklahoma (48.41% Davis)
1928: Rhode Island (50.16% Smith) -The Catholic vote is what gave this state and MA to the Dems-
1932: New Jersey (49.49% F. Roosevelt)
1936: New Hampshire (49.73% F. Roosevelt) -Not a surprise considering the states next to it (Vermont and Maine) were the sole anti-FDR crusade-
1940: Wisconsin (50.15% F. Roosevelt)
1944: Michigan (50.19% F. Roosevelt)
1948: Ohio (49.48% Truman)
1952: Kentucky (49.91% Stevenson)
1956: Missouri (50.11% Stevenson) -The lone state to switch from Eisenhower to Stevenson
1960: Hawaii (50% Kennedy)
1964: Idaho (50.92% Johnson)
1968: Texas  (41.14% Humphrey) -The only Southern state that year,the rest split between Wallace and Nixon-
1972: Massachusetts (54.2% McGovern) -Also the strongest since Nixon won the others-
1976: Ohio (48.92% Carter)
1980: Hawaii (44.8% Carter)
1984: Minnesota (49.72% Mondale) -Just like 1972,except it was the home state this time-
1988: Washington (50.05% Dukakis)
1992: Georgia (43.5% Clinton)
1996: Kentucky (45.8% Clinton)
2000: New Mexico (47.91% Gore)

1872: Maryland (50.34% Greeley)
1876: Indiana (48.65% Tilden)
1880: California (48.98% Hancock)
1884: New York (48.25% Cleveland) -Home state-
1888: Connecticut (48.66% Cleveland)
1892: California (43.83% Cleveland)
1896: South Dakota (49.7% Bryan)
1900: Kentucky (50.21% Bryan)
1904: Kentucky (49.82% Parker)
1908: Colorado (48% Bryan)

For GOP

1856: Ohio (48.51% Fremont)
1860: Illinois (50.7% Lincoln)
1864: New York (50.5% Lincoln)
1868: California (50.2% Grant)
