Interestingly, Washington DC has voted Democrat every year since 1964 when it was added to the election. The closest a Republican has got was 1972 when Nixon lost by "only" 56.5%

Why is California not on here? The information I'm seeing says they also haven't voted Republican since '88.

In 1988 they voted for George H. W. Bush.

They have been Democrat since 1992.

The reason why Minnesota has voted for Democrats longer than all other states is because they were the only state (DC doesn’t count) won by Walter Mondale in 1984, being his home state and even then, barely winning, with a margin of 3761 votes. This gave Reagan 525 electoral votes out of 538.

Really would've guessed the least guessed would be the most guessed state, seeing as they were the only STATE that voted for Mondale that time

The District of Columbia is part of the Electoral College and should be part of this quiz. A line in the caveats should be sufficient to clear up the slight irregularity around the word "state."
