The 1980 United States presidential election in Hawaii took place on November 4, 1980. All 50 states and The District of Columbia, were part of the 1980 United States presidential election. Hawaii voters chose four electors to the Electoral College, who voted for president and vice president.
Hawaii was one of the six states that President Jimmy Carter (D) won. His margin was 1.9 points, his narrowest victory margin in any state.http://uselectionatlas.org/RESULTS/state.php?year=1980&fips=15&f=0&off=0&elect=0 1980 Presidential General Election Results - Hawaii Uselectionsatlas.org May 17, 2015 Hawaii is a very liberal state, and both of the state's U.S. senators have been Democrats since 1977,Kaste Martin https://www.npr.org/sections/itsallpolitics/2012/09/13/161096416/can-a-republican-win-a-senate-seat-in-blue-hawaii Can A Republican Win A Senate Seat In Blue Hawaii?

As of 2024, this is the second of two times (the first being 1960) in which not all of Hawaii's counties voted for the same candidate. This was the second of three times in which Oahu supported a Republican on the presidential level. This was the only election since its statehood in which Hawaii did not vote the same as New York.January 2026
