It ended a streak of six consecutive elections in which the state had voted for the Republican ticket. It also began a streak in which the state has voted by double digits for the Democratic ticket in nine consecutive presidential elections. As of the 2024 presidential election, this is also the last election in which the following counties voted for a Democratic presidential candidate: Brown, Clark, Crawford, Cumberland, Douglas, Edgar, Jasper, Monroe, Richland, and Tazewell.Sullivan, Robert David; ‘How the Red and Blue Map Evolved Over the Past Century’; America Magazine in The National Catholic Review; June 29, 2016 Primaries The primaries and general elections coincided with those for other federal elections (Senate and House), as well as those for state offices.
