The 1944 United States presidential election in Kansas took place on November 7, 1944, as part of the 1944 United States presidential election. Voters chose eight[2] representatives, or electors, to the Electoral College, who voted for president and vice president.
Kansas was won by Governor Thomas E. Dewey (R–New York), running with Governor John Bricker, with 60.25 percent of the popular vote, against incumbent President Franklin D. Roosevelt (D–New York), running with Senator Harry S. Truman, with 39.18 percent of the popular vote.[3][4] Dewey's margin was the largest against Roosevelt in any state in any of the four elections that he contested, despite carrying the state by comfortable margins in both 1932 and 1936.[5] The 104 counties (all except Wyandotte) that Roosevelt lost is the most he lost in any state during his four elections to the White House.
