State voters chose 29 electors to the Electoral College, who voted for president and vice president. Illinois was won by the Republican nominee Charles Evans Hughes with 52.56% of the popular vote. Hughes was the first presidential candidate to garner over a million votes in a single state, due to Illinois having allowed women to cast votes for electors, though not yet for other offices. With 52.56% of the vote, Illinois would prove to be Hughes' fifth strongest state in terms of popular votes percentage after Vermont, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Iowa.https://uselectionatlas.org/RESULTS/stats.php?year=1916&f=1&off=0&elect=0 1916 Presidential Election Statistics Dave Leip's Atlas of U.S. Presidential Elections 2018-03-05 This is the second of only three elections in the history of the party that a Democrat won the presidency without winning Illinois (the others being 1884 and 1976).Historical U.S. Presidential Elections 1789-2020 https://www.270towin.com/historical-presidential-elections/ 2021-12-17 270toWin.com This was one of three elections in the 20th century where the state voted for the losing candidate, along with 1976 and 2000.
