The1916 United States presidential election in Pennsylvania took place on November 7, 1916, as part of the1916 United States presidential election. Voters chose 38 representatives, or electors to theElectoral College, who voted forpresident andvice president.
Pennsylvania overwhelmingly voted for theRepublican nominee,U.S. Supreme Court Justice and formerNew York GovernorCharles Evans Hughes, over theDemocratic nominee,PresidentWoodrow 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 afterVermont and neighboringNew Jersey.[1] Wilson is one of three presidents (along withGeorge W. Bush andGrover 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 in1884 and1892).
