| dbo:abstract |
The 1996 United States presidential election in Virginia took place on November 5, 1996, as part of the 1996 United States presidential election. Voters chose 13 representatives, or electors to the Electoral College, who voted for president and vice president. Virginia was won by Senator Bob Dole (R-KS), 47.10% to 45.15% over incumbent President Bill Clinton (D-AR) producing a margin of 1.95%. Billionaire businessman Ross Perot (Reform-TX) finished in third, with 6.62% of the popular vote. As of the 2020 presidential election, this marked the last time a Democrat was elected without winning Virginia, and the last election in which Virginia was carried by the Republican presidential candidate while neighboring West Virginia was carried by the Democratic presidential candidate. Virginia was also the only state Bill Clinton lost twice but Hillary Clinton won, as she managed a 5% victory in the state in 2016. As of the 2020 presidential election, this was also the last time Bath, Allegheny, Giles, Smyth, Tazewell, Lee, Wise, Dinwiddie, Accomack Counties, and the independent cities of Galax and Buena Vista voted for a Democratic presidential candidate. The election was, however, the first time the Democratic Presidential nominee had carried Prince Edward County – famous for its Civil Rights-era school desegregation cases – since Harry S. Truman in 1948, and the first time since 1968 that Essex County had voted Democratic. This election made Virginia tied for the longest Republican streak, as Arizona voted Democratic in this election for the first time since 1948. Virginia would later be removed from the tie in 2008 by voting for Democrat Barack Obama. Since then it has become a fairly blue state at the presidential level. With this election, Clinton became the first, and, to date, only Democratic president to ever win a second term without carrying Virginia. (en) |
