United States presidential election in Alaska, 2016 (New Johannson Scenario)



The 2016 United States presidential election in Alaska took place on November 8, 2016, as part of the 2016 United States presidential election. Voters chose four representatives, or electors to the Electoral College, who voted for President and Vice-President.

Alaska was won by incumbent President Edward H. Johannson (R-Minnesota) with 58.13% of the popular vote against Governor John C. Dickenson (D-Georgia) with 41.87% of the popular vote. The state weighed in as 6.29% more Democratic than the national average. Dickenson won majorities in Bethel, Hoonah-Angoon, and Petersburg Census Areas, and in Sitka and Skagway Boroughs, in addition to receiving more than 60% of the vote in Haines Borough. Elsewhere, Johannson carried every borough and census area, with the Republicans' most dominant showings being in the heavily populated areas around Anchorage and Wasilla, with the President received more than 60% of the vote in Denali and Matanuska-Sustina Boroughs. Alaska was one of only four states, outside of the antebellum slave states and Oklahoma, where Dickenson carried a single county: the others were Arizona, Indiana, and New Mexico.
