All 50 states and the District of Columbia, were part of the 1996 United States presidential election. State voters chose 21 electors to the Electoral College, which selected the president and vice president. Ohio was won by incumbent United States President Bill Clinton of Arkansas, who was running against Kansas Senator Bob Dole. Clinton ran a second time with former Tennessee Senator Al Gore as vice president, and Dole ran with former New York Congressman Jack Kemp.https://uselectionatlas.org/RESULTS/state.php?year=1996&fips=39&f=1&off=0&elect=0&minper=0 1996 Presidential General Election Results – Ohio Dave Leip’s Atlas of U.S. Presidential Elections 2018-02-07 Ohio weighed in for this election as 2% more third-party than the national average. The presidential election of 1996 was a very multi-partisan election for Ohio, with over 11% of the electorate voting for third-party candidates. Most counties in the state turned out more for Dole than Clinton. Two notable exceptions to this trend were Cleveland's Cuyahoga County, and residents of several counties on the eastern border with Pennsylvania and the southeastern border with West Virginia, who voted largely for Clinton. In his second bid for the presidency, Ross Perot led the newly reformed Reform Party to gain over 10% of the votes in Ohio, 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: Columbiana, Harrison, Hocking, Jackson, Lawrence, Meigs, Perry, Pike, Scioto, Vinton, Carroll, Gallia, Guernsey, Huron, Noble, Ross, and Seneca.Sullivan, Robert David; ‘How the Red and Blue Map Evolved Over the Past Century’; America Magazine in The National Catholic Review; June 29, 2016 This was the first time since 1940 that a Democrat carried Ohio in two consecutive presidential elections, and the last time a Democrat carried the state by more than 5%.
