With 78.57% of the popular vote, Vermont would be Grant's strongest victory in terms of percentage in the popular vote.[1] In addition, Grant's performance in Vermont in popular vote percentage was the second-best for a Republican presidential candidate only after William McKinley's 80.08% in 1896. Grant's performance in Addison County is also the last time that a Republican, or any candidate, has received over 90% in a Vermont county, and one of only two occasions (along with Abraham Lincoln's performance in Addison four years earlier) that a candidate has done so despite the state's overwhelming Republican dominance for nearly a century.
