Elections in Arizona

This was the first Federal Presidential Election in which Arizona participated, as it had been admitted as the 48th state on February 14 of the same year. The state was won by governor of New Jersey Woodrow Wilson (D–NJ), running with governor of Indiana Thomas R. Marshall, with 43.52% of the popular vote, against the 26th president of the United States Theodore Roosevelt (P–NY), running with governor of California Hiram Johnson, with 29.29% of the popular vote, the five-time candidate of the Socialist Party of America for President of the United States Eugene V. Debs (S–IN), running with the first Socialist mayor of a major city in the United States Emil Seidel, with 13.33% of the popular vote and the 27th president of the United States William Howard Taft (R–OH), running with Columbia University President Nicholas Murray Butler, with 12.74% of the popular vote.[1]

Arizona was one of the states where the sitting president William Howard Taft came in fourth due to his low approval ratings and the Republican vote being divided between him and Theodore Roosevelt. Over one century later, Roosevelt's 29.29% remains the best-ever third-party presidential performance in Arizona.[2]

Notes
  1. There exist differences between the Géoelections and Dave Leip totals in this county for the Taft ticket only. This table’s figures are the Leip totals.
gollark: Well, that would actually have been right if you used the right units then added 2, possibly.
gollark: Not just... multiply... them?
gollark: I'm pretty sure you'd have to work out what voltage across the resistor would give you 20mA through it, then add 2 to it for the LED.
gollark: Multiple errors on that question.
gollark: You made *multiple* errors.
