United States presidential election in New Mexico, 1936

The 1936 United States presidential election in New Mexico took place on November 3, 1936. All 48 States were part of the United States presidential election. New Mexico voters chose three electors to represent them in the Electoral College, which voted for President and Vice President.

New Mexico was won by incumbent President Franklin D. Roosevelt in a 26-point sweep-out landslide against Kansas Governor Alf Landon. Roosevelt won every county in the state bar Socorro County: this is the last time a Democrat has ever carried Lincoln County, which is easily the longest run of voting Republican in any New Mexico county.

Union Party candidate William Lemke made a small splash in New Mexico and elsewhere in the United States, winning 924 votes, 0.5 percent of the state’s total, substantially less than he won in many other states like Rhode Island, Oregon and his home state of North Dakota.
