The 1916 United States presidential election in Pennsylvania took place on November 7, 1916, as part of the 1916 United States presidential election. Voters chose 38 representatives, or electors to the Electoral College, who voted for president and vice president.
Pennsylvania overwhelmingly voted for the Republican nominee, U.S. Supreme Court Justice and former New York Governor Charles Evans Hughes, over the Democratic nominee, President Woodrow Wilson. Hughes won Pennsylvania by a large margin of 14.04%. New York voted for Hughes by exactly half the margin (7.02%).
With 56.26% of the vote, Pennsylvania would prove to be Hughes's third strongest state in terms of popular votes percentage after Vermont and neighboring New Jersey.https://uselectionatlas.org/RESULTS/stats.php?year=1916&f=1&off=0&elect=0 1916 Presidential Election Statistics Dave Leip's Atlas of U.S. Presidential Elections 2018-03-05 Wilson is one of three presidents (along with George W. Bush and Grover Cleveland) to win two terms without ever carrying the state, and the only Democrat to do so in two consecutive elections (Cleveland won two non-consecutive elections in 1884 and 1892).
