100 Years of Presidential Election Results
Bob Vetrone Jr.
The staff here at BoopStats are certainly not the political junkies that exist elsewhere at the Daily News, but we do love numbers ... And there are no more significant numbers than the ones generated on the Tuesday after the first Monday in November every four years.
So, thanks to the folks at UCSB and their fine website dedicated to the United States Presidency, we present the election results for the last 100 years, dating to the first time all 48 contiguous states took part.
The UCSB has every election broken down by state and more information. For our purposes here, we list just the two (or three) major party candidates for each year.
