All 50 states and the District of Columbia, were part of the 1984 United States presidential election. Hawaii voters chose 4 electors to the Electoral College, which selected the president and vice president of the United States. Hawaii was won by incumbent United States President Ronald Reagan of California, who was running against former Vice President Walter Mondale of Minnesota. Reagan ran for a second time with former C.I.A. Director George H. W. Bush of Texas, and Mondale ran with Representative Geraldine Ferraro of New York, the first major female candidate for the vice presidency. Hawaii voted 7% more Democratic than the national average in this election. This election and that of 1972 are the only two presidential races where Hawaii voted Republican. This is also the last time the Democratic presidential nominee failed to win every county in Hawaii, and the last time Republicans carried any congressional district in the state. This was the third and final presidential race in which Oahu voted Republican. Reagan won the election in Hawaii with a decisive 11-point win. The election results in Hawaii are reflective of a nationwide reconsolidation of the base for the Republican Party which took place through the 1980s; called by Reagan the "second American Revolution."https://www.nytimes.com/1984/11/07/politics/07REAG.html?pagewanted=1 Reagan Wins By a Landslide, Sweeping at Least 48 States; G.O.P.
