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

Latest comment: 5 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

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:

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

[Republican Party founded 1854]

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

Am I missing something, or is that table?

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

Latest comment: 5 years ago2 comments2 people in discussion

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
28 & 29. McKinley 1900 & 1896 [C = B. Harrison 1892]
30. B. Harrison 1888 [D = Blaine 1884]
31. Garfield 1880
32. Hayes 1876
33 & 34. Grant 1872 & 1868
35 & 36. Lincoln 1864 & 1860 [E = Frémont 1856]
37. Pierce 1852 [F & G = Cass 1848 & Clay 1844]
38. Wm H. Harrison 1840 [H = WH Harrison 1836]
39 & 40. Jackson 1832 & 1828 [I = Clay 1824]
41 & 42. Monroe 1820 & 1816
43 & 44. Madison 1812 & 1808
45. Jefferson 1804

Your math seems right. In my defense, I did the articles for all 50 states at once, and there is much fodder for miscounts like these. bd2412 T 03:43, 4 April 2019 (UTC)Reply
