I have McKinley and McGovern... Tyler and Arthur never received electoral votes. They came into office when WH Harrison and Garfield died, respectively. Neither stood for reelection.

Am reasonably sure Franklin Rooosevelt, not Alf Landon, was the Democratic candidate in 1936.

fun idea! Only - when I wanted to type in "Trump", it gave away Theodore Roosevelt for free (due to the initials I suppose). I would have gotten him anyways, but still... :D
