Voters chose 36 representatives, or electors to the Electoral College, who voted for president and vice president. Pennsylvania voted to give Democratic nominee, President Franklin D. Roosevelt an unprecedented third term, over the Republican nominee, corporate lawyer Wendell Willkie, a dark horse candidate who had never before run for a political office. Roosevelt won Pennsylvania by a margin of 6.9%.
