The nominees

Every major-party presidential nominee since 1876, plus the third-party candidacies our record can stand behind — Weaver, the 1912 Roosevelt run, La Follette, Thurmond, Wallace, and Perot (whose 1992/1996 votes ride a dedicated column in the county returns). Each page traces their cycles, their strongest states and counties, and how their coalition's home turf votes today.
