The1920 United States presidential election in New Hampshire took place on November 2, 1920, as part of the1920 United States presidential election which was held throughout all contemporary 48 states. Voters chose four representatives, or electors, to theElectoral College, who voted forpresident andvice president.
New Hampshire voted forRepublican nominee,SenatorWarren G. Harding ofOhio, over theDemocratic nominee,GovernorJames M. Cox ofOhio. Harding ran withGovernorCalvin Coolidge ofMassachusetts, while Cox ran withAssistant Secretary of the NavyFranklin D. Roosevelt ofNew York.
Harding won New Hampshire by a margin of 20.45%. His victory in theNew England states was helped by the local popularity of his running mate, Calvin Coolidge, a traditional New EnglandYankee born in the small-town ofPlymouth Notch in neighboringVermont, who had started his political career in neighboring Massachusetts as itsgovernor. Despite this, New Hampshire would be Cox's second-strongestantebellum free state afterIndiana by popular vote percentage and the third-strongest after Indiana and Cox'sOhio in terms of percentage margin.
New Hampshire voted 5.72% more Democratic than the nation at-large – which is the most Democratic relative to the nation that New Hampshire has ever voted since the Republican Party was founded.[1] Although Cox carried no counties, Hillsborough and longtime national bellwether Coös would prove his strongest counties in New England.
