Elections in North Dakota |
---|
The 1940 United States presidential election in North Dakota took place on November 5, 1940, as part of the 1940 United States presidential election. Voters chose four [2] representatives, or electors, to the Electoral College, who voted for president and vice president.
North Dakota was won by Wendell Willkie (R–New York), running with Minority Leader Charles L. McNary, with 55.06% of the popular vote, against incumbent President Franklin D. Roosevelt (D–New York), running with Secretary Henry A. Wallace, with 44.18% of the popular vote. [3] [4]
With 55.06% of the popular vote, North Dakota would prove to be Willkie's fourth strongest state in the 1940 election in terms of popular vote percentage, after fellow free-soil Plains West states South Dakota, Nebraska and Kansas. [5]
This was the first election since North Dakota's inaugural 1892 election in which it voted for a losing candidate. Then, it narrowly voted for Populist candidate James B. Weaver. However, due to a fusion between Weaver and the winning Democrat Grover Cleveland, North Dakota cast a single elector for Cleveland as well. That makes this the first election in which North Dakota did not cast a single electoral vote for the winning candidate, or in which the state backed a losing Republican candidate.
