Missouri voters chose 10 electors to represent them in the Electoral College via a popular vote pitting incumbent Democratic President Barack Obama and his running mate, Vice President Joe Biden, against Republican challenger and former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney and his running mate, Congressman Paul Ryan. Missouri was won by Romney, who took 53.64% of the vote to Obama's 44.28%, a margin of 9.36%. Although it was a battleground in past elections, and considered a bellwether up until 2008, Missouri trended in the early 21st century toward the Republicans, having been the only long-time swing state to be won (albeit narrowly) by Republican John McCain in 2008. Consequently, the state was not heavily contested by either side in 2012, and Romney ultimately carried Missouri by the largest margin since Ronald Reagan's 1984 landslide. Romney became the second Republican to carry Missouri and lose the presidency just four years after John McCain's narrow victory in the state, with Obama also becoming the only Democrat to ever win two terms in the White House without carrying the state at least once. Despite losing the state, Obama remains the last Democratic nominee to lose Missouri by less than 10%, as of 2024. 4 Primary elections Democratic primary Missouri Democratic primary, February 7, 2012 Candidate Votes Percentage DelegatesBarack Obama (incumbent) 64,366 88.39% 89Randall Terry 1,998 2.74% -John Wolfe Jr. 1,000 1.37% -Darcy Richardson 873 1.20% -Uncommitted 4,580 6.29% - Republican primary 2012 Missouri Republican presidential primary Missouri presidential no 2008 Missouri Republican presidential primary 2008 2016 Missouri Republican presidential primary 2016 2012 02 07 x125px Rick Santorum by Gage Skidmore.jpg Rick Santorum Pennsylvania 008000 139,272 55.23% Mitt_Romney_by_Gage_Skidmore_6_cropped.jpg Mitt Romney Massachusetts ff6600 63,882 25.33% Ron Paul by Gage Skidmore 3 (crop 2).jpg Ron Paul Texas ffcc00 30,647 12.15% Missouri Republican Presidential Primary Election Results by County, 2012.svg 275px County results #008000 Rick Santorum CO MN The 2012 Missouri Republican presidential primary took place on February 7Primary and Caucus Printable Calendar CNN http://www.cnn.com/election/2012/calendar.html January 11, 2012 and the caucuses ran from March 15 to March 24, 2012,Lieb David A. 2012-03-18 Contention, confusion common at Mo.

State primaries in Missouri were previously held in early February. In September 2008, the Republican National Committee adopted a set of rules which included a provision that no states except Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina, and Nevada were allowed to begin the process of delegate selection (including binding primary elections) before the first Tuesday in March of an election year.The Rules of the Republican Party, As Adopted by the 2008 Republican National Convention, September 1, 2008 http://www.gop.com/images/legal/2008_RULES_Adopted.pdf dead https://web.archive.org/web/20101007113018/http://www.gop.com/images/legal/2008_RULES_Adopted.pdf October 7, 2010 October 3, 2010 Republican National Convention In 2011, the Republican-controlled Missouri General Assembly attempted to move the primary election to mid-March, but the bill was vetoed by Democratic Governor Jay Nixon because of a provision limiting his power to fill vacancies in statewide elected offices. In a compromise solution, it was decided that Republican primary election would be made non-binding and instead delegates would be nominated by separate caucuses in late March, a move estimated to cost the state 7m USD.Epstein Reid J.

In addition, this was the first time since 1900 that Missouri was not carried by the victor of the presidential contest two times consecutively, after Obama had failed to win the state in 2008, as well as the first time since 1900 when the overall loser of the presidential election won the state by a margin larger than 1% of the statewide vote. Thus, the 2012 election seemingly marked the end of Missouri's swing state status. Obama is the only president of either party since William McKinley to win two terms in the White House without carrying Missouri either time. This election also remains the only time in history that a Democrat was elected twice to the presidency without ever carrying Missouri. Obama became the first Democrat since 1960 to win without Buchanan, Iron, and Washington counties; the first since 1916 without Jefferson County; and the first since 1944 without St. Genevieve County. Obama carried only three counties and the City of St. Louis. He carried Boone County, home to Columbia and the University of Missouri; Jackson County, where most of Kansas City is located; and St. Louis County, home to many St. Louis suburbs. While Obama won many counties in the St. Louis metropolitan area in 2008 such as Iron, Jefferson, Ste. Genevieve, and Washington counties, the Republicans won them in this election, all but Ste. Genevieve by comfortable margins.Missouri - Election Results 2008 - The New York Times https://www.nytimes.com/elections/2008/results/states/missouri.html 2020-09-02 www.nytimes.com See also 2012 Democratic Party presidential primaries 2012 Republican Party presidential debates and forums 2012 Republican Party presidential primaries Results of the 2012 Republican Party presidential primaries Missouri Republican Party Missouri Bellwether United States presidential elections in Missouri References 30em External links The Green Papers: for Missouri The Green Papers: Major state elections in chronological order Official Election Returns Presidential Preference Primary, February 7, 2012.
