Voters chose 25 representatives, or electors to the Electoral College, who voted for president and vice president. Pennsylvania voted for the Republican nominee, President Ronald Reagan, over the Democratic nominee, former Vice President Walter Mondale. Reagan won the state by sweeping the small towns and rural areas of central Pennsylvania and performing well in the traditionally Republican suburbs of Philadelphia, but the race was kept within single digits by Mondale’s strong showing in heavily unionized and traditionally Democratic Western Pennsylvania, as well as his decisive victories in the cities of Pittsburgh and Philadelphia. 2024 11 As of the 2024, this is the last election in which Lackawanna County has voted Republican, the last time that Erie County voted Republican until 2016, and the last time a Republican won one-third of the vote in Philadelphia.Sullivan, Robert David; ‘How the Red and Blue Map Evolved Over the Past Century’; America Magazine in The National Catholic Review; June 29, 2016 This was one of only three elections since the Civil War in which Pennsylvania has voted more Democratic than neighboring New York (along with 1952 and 1956), and the most recent election in which it voted to the left of Illinois, Washington, or Hawaii. Reagan became the first Republican ever to win the White House without carrying Mercer or Armstrong Counties. Reagan was the last Republican candidate to win the state twice until Donald Trump did so in 2016 and 2024. He also remains the last Republican candidate to win the state in two consecutive elections. Primaries Republican primary Ronald Reagan ran uncontested, winning 616,916 votes (turnout: 27.66%). Democratic primary Jesse Jackson's voters were 81% black and 18% white.Ranney 1985 54 41% of Jackson voters listed Mondale as their second candidate in exit polls conducted by CBS News and The New York Times, while 19% listed Hart and 24% selected none.Ranney 1985 62 Candidate Votes PercentWalter Mondale747,26745.15%Gary Hart551,33533.31%Jesse Jackson264,46315.98%John Glenn22,6051.37%Others69,2814.19%Totals1,654,951Turnout: 52.10% Results thumb|Results in the Pittsburgh Metropolitan Statistical Area, shaded by municipality thumb|left|President Ronald Reagan gives remarks at the Polish Festival National Shrine of Our Lady of Czestochowa Doylestown, Pennsylvania on September 9, 1984. 1984 United States presidential election in PennsylvaniaDavid Leip Dave Leip’s U.S. Election Atlas https://uselectionatlas.org/RESULTS/state.php?year=1984&fips=42&f=1&off=0&elect=0&minper=0 1984 Presidential General Election Results – Pennsylvania 2018-03-23PartyCandidateVotesPercentageElectoral votes Republican Ronald Reagan (incumbent) 2,584,323 53.34% 25 Democratic Walter Mondale 2,228,131 45.99% 0 Consumer Sonia Johnson 21,628 0.45% 0 Libertarian David Bergland 6,982 0.14% 0 Workers' League Edward Winn 2,059 0.04% 0 Communist Gus Hall 1,780 0.04% 0 Totals 4,844,903 100.00% 25 Results by county County Ronald ReaganRepublican Walter MondaleDemocratic Various candidatesOther parties Margin Total votescast #
