Scott; The Pursuit of the White House: A Handbook of Presidential Election Statistics and History, p. 433 0313257957 As of the 2024 election, this is the last election in which the City of Baltimore voted for a Republican presidential candidate, and by extension, the last election in which a presidential candidate won all of the state's counties.Sullivan, Robert David; ‘How the Red and Blue Map Evolved Over the Past Century’; America Magazine in The National Catholic Review; June 29, 2016 Eisenhower is also the last Republican to carry the state twice.Dave Leip's Atlas of U.S. Presidential Elections https://uselectionatlas.org/RESULTS/ 2023-01-10 uselectionatlas.org George Washington in 1792 is the only other candidate who swept all of Maryland's existing counties, though at the time several did not yet exist.Our Campaigns - MD US President Race - Nov 00, 1792 https://www.ourcampaigns.com/RaceDetail.html?RaceID=180436 2021-03-26 www.ourcampaigns.com In 1789 and 1820, the other two elections in which a candidate ran virtually unopposed, unpledged slates of electors ran as opposition in both elections: Anti-Federalist electors in 1789, and Federalist electors in 1820.A New Nation Votes https://elections.lib.tufts.edu/catalog/70795918c 2021-03-26 elections.lib.tufts.eduA New Nation Votes https://elections.lib.tufts.edu/catalog/h415pb28s 2021-03-26 elections.lib.tufts.edu These electors supported Washington and James Monroe, but supported different vice presidential candidates. Thus, it is a debatable topic whether these count as total sweeps or not (In 1789, the Anti-Federalist electors won Baltimore and Anne Arundel county, and in 1820 St. Mary's and Charles counties). Nevertheless, Eisenhower remains the only candidate in the modern party system to win all of Maryland's counties, and the only to win all of the presently existing ones. In this election, Maryland voted 4.67% to the right of the nation at-large.Dave Leip's Atlas of U.S. Presidential Elections https://uselectionatlas.org/RESULTS/ 2023-06-22 uselectionatlas.org This was the last time Maryland voted for a Republican presidential candidate until Eisenhower's vice president, Richard Nixon, won the state in his re-election bid in 1972.
