United States presidential election in Maine, 2016 (Ferguson Scenario)



The 2016 United States presidential election in Maine took place on November 8, 2016, as part of the 2016 United States presidential election, which was held throughout all fifty states and D.C. Voters chose four representatives, or electors to the Electoral College, who voted for President and Vice-President.

Ferguson carried Maine by a wide margin of 37.66 percent, and became only the second Democrat in history to sweep all of the state's counties. He was the first Democrat since Lyndon B. Johnson in 1964 to carry Waldo County, and the first to carry Lincoln County since Mario Cuomo had won a plurality there in 2000.

With 68.80% of the popular vote, Maine would prove to be Ferguson's fourth-strongest state after Rhode Island, Hawaii, and Massachusetts.
