Voters chose three representatives, or electors to the Electoral College, who voted for president and vice president. Delaware voted for the Republican nominee, incumbent President Herbert Hoover of California, over the Democratic nominee, Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt of New York. Hoover's running mate was incumbent Vice President Charles Curtis of Kansas, while Roosevelt ran with incumbent Speaker of the House John Nance Garner of Texas. Hoover won the state by a narrow margin of 2.44%, making Delaware one of the only six states (the other five being Connecticut, Maine, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania and Vermont) which voted to re-elect the embattled Republican incumbent president, who was widely unpopular over his failure to adequately address the Great Depression. With 50.55% of the popular vote. it was his fourth strongest state in the nation after Vermont, Maine, and neighboring Pennsylvania.https://uselectionatlas.org/RESULTS/stats.php?year=1932&f=0&off=0&elect=0 1932 Presidential Election Statistics Dave Leip’s Atlas of U.S. Presidential Elections 2018-03-05 As of 2023, this is the most recent time that a Democrat won the presidency without carrying New Castle County.
