The state would go on to back the national winner in every election onward until 2016. Although Clinton carried only two of the state's seventeen counties, his win in Clark County, where Las Vegas is located, and the most populous county in the state, would prove the key to this and future Democratic victories in Nevada. Clinton's percentage of the vote was the lowest to win a state since Woodrow Wilson carried only 32.08 percent of the vote in Idaho in 1912. 2024 11 As of the 2024 presidential election, this is the last time a Democratic presidential candidate carried White Pine County in a presidential election,Sullivan, Robert David; ‘How the Red and Blue Map Evolved Over the Past Century’; America Magazine in The National Catholic Review; June 29, 2016 and the last one where a candidate outside the two major parties carried any Nevada county. In this case, Ross Perot carried Storey County.
