The presidential election of 1996 was a very multi-partisan election for New Mexico, with nearly ten percent of the electorate voting for third-party candidates, and two third-party candidates receiving more than 1% of the vote. The majority of counties in New Mexico turned out for Clinton, including the highly populated areas of Doña Ana County, Santa Fe County and Albuquerque’s Bernalillo County. In his second bid for the presidency, Ross Perot led the newly reformed Reform Party to gain over five percent of the votes in New Mexico, and to pull in support nationally as the most popular third-party candidate to run for United States Presidency in recent times. 2024 11 As of the 2024 presidential election, this is the last election in which the following counties voted for a Democratic presidential candidate: Sierra, Eddy, and De Baca.Sullivan, Robert David; ‘How the Red and Blue Map Evolved Over the Past Century’; America Magazine in The National Catholic Review; June 29, 2016 Results 1996 United States presidential election in New Mexico Democratic Party (United States) Bill Clinton (incumbent) Al Gore (incumbent) 273,495 49.18% +3.28 Republican Party (United States) Bob Dole Jack Kemp 232,751 41.86% +4.52 Reform Party of the United States of America Ross Perot Pat Choate 32,257 5.80% −10.32 Green Party of the United States Ralph Nader Winona LaDuke 13,218 2.38% N/A Libertarian Party (United States) Harry Browne Jo Jorgensen 2,996 0.54% +0.26 Constitution Party (US) U.S. Taxpayers' Howard Phillips Herbert Titus 713 0.13% +0.02 Natural Law Party (United States) John Hagelin Mike Tompkins 644 0.12% +0.02 556,074 100.00% Democratic Party (United States) Results by county County Bill ClintonDemocratic Bob DoleRepublican Ross PerotOur Campaigns; NM US President 1996Reform Ralph NaderGreen Various candidatesOther parties Margin Total votescast # % # % # % # % # % # % Bernalillo 88,140 48.28% 78,832 43.19% 8,708 4.77% 5,269 2.89% 1,594 0.87% 9,308 5.09% 182,543 Catron 423 27.76% 923 60.56% 114 7.48% 29 1.90% 35 2.30% -500 -32.80% 1,524 Chaves 7,014 37.87% 9,991 53.95% 1,271 6.86% 123 0.66% 120 0.65% -2,977 -16.08% 18,519 Cibola 4,030 58.58% 2,245 32.63% 488 7.09% 85 1.24% 32 0.47% 1,785 25.95% 6,880 Colfax 2,659 51.47% 1,975 38.23% 411 7.96% 90 1.74% 31 0.60% 684 13.24% 5,166 Curry 4,116 33.07% 7,378 59.28% 842 6.76% 61 0.49% 50 0.40% -3,262 -26.21% 12,447 De Baca 509 46.57% 489 44.74% 86 7.87% 4 0.37% 5 0.46% 20 1.83% 1,093 Doña Ana 22,766 52.26% 17,541 40.26% 2,269 5.21% 635 1.46% 353 0.81% 5,225 12.00% 43,564 Eddy 8,959 47.16% 8,534 44.92% 1,297 6.83% 101 0.53% 107 0.56% 425 2.24% 18,998 Grant 5,860 53.62% 3,993 36.54% 778 7.12% 205 1.88% 92 0.84% 1,867 17.08% 10,928 Guadalupe 1,208 69.59% 436 25.12% 79 4.55% 9 0.52% 4 0.23% 772 44.47% 1,736 Harding 264 42.86% 321 52.11% 28 4.55% 3 0.49% 0 0.00% -57 -9.25% 616 Hidalgo 943 48.31% 789 40.42% 209 10.71% 5 0.26% 6 0.31% 154 7.89% 1,952 Lea 5,393 36.77% 7,661 52.24% 1,465 9.99% 54 0.37% 93 0.63% -2,268 -15.47% 14,666 Lincoln 2,209 34.46% 3,396 52.97% 666 10.39% 78 1.22% 62 0.97% -1,187 -18.51% 6,411 Los Alamos 3,983 40.10% 4,999 50.33% 560 5.64% 247 2.49% 143 1.44% -1,016 -10.23% 9,932 Luna 3,001 47.44% 2,616 41.35% 598 9.45% 63 1.00% 48 0.76% 385 6.09% 6,326 McKinley 10,124 65.21% 4,470 28.79% 650 4.19% 196 1.26% 86 0.55% 5,654 36.42% 15,526 Mora 1,646 68.76% 561 23.43% 131 5.47% 39 1.63% 17 0.71% 1,085 45.33% 2,394 Otero 5,938 36.35% 9,065 55.49% 1,096 6.71% 131 0.80% 107 0.65% -3,127 -19.14% 16,337 Quay 1,830 43.82% 1,943 46.53% 377 9.03% 14 0.34% 12 0.29% -113 -2.71% 4,176 Rio Arriba 7,965 70.46% 2,551 22.57% 469 4.15% 268 2.37% 52 0.46% 5,414 47.89% 11,305 Roosevelt 2,097 35.73% 3,245 55.29% 467 7.96% 28 0.48% 32 0.55% -1,148 -19.56% 5,869 San Juan 12,070 37.08% 17,478 53.69% 2,355 7.23% 399 1.23% 251 0.77% -5,408 -16.61% 32,553 San Miguel 6,995 72.51% 1,938 20.09% 405 4.20% 250 2.59% 59 0.61% 5,057 52.42% 9,647 Sandoval 13,081 49.46% 11,015 41.65% 1,482 5.60% 618 2.34% 252 0.95% 2,066 7.81% 26,448 Santa Fe 26,349 62.08% 10,857 25.58% 1,846 4.35% 3,018 7.11% 376 0.89% 15,492 36.50% 42,446 Sierra 2,154 44.83% 2,140 44.54% 431 8.97% 50 1.04% 30 0.62% 14 0.29% 4,805 Socorro 3,374 53.02% 2,315 36.38% 455 7.15% 135 2.12% 85 1.34% 1,059 16.64% 6,364 Taos 6,635 66.00% 2,126 21.15% 545 5.42% 660 6.57% 87 0.87% 4,509 44.85% 10,053 Torrance 2,072 44.51% 2,154 46.27% 332 7.13% 64 1.37% 33 0.71% -82 -1.76% 4,655 Union 519 31.45% 995 60.30% 125 7.58% 5 0.30% 6 0.36% -476 -28.85% 1,650 Valencia 9,169 49.44% 7,779 41.95% 1,222 6.59% 282 1.52% 93 0.50% 1,390 7.49% 18,545Totals273,49549.18%232,75141.86%32,2575.80%13,2182.38%4,3530.78%40,7447.32%556,074 Counties that flipped from Republican to Democratic De Baca See also Presidency of Bill Clinton References New Mexico 1996 Category:1996 New Mexico elections
