1984 United States presidential election in Kansas
The 1984 United States presidential election in Kansas took place on November 6, 1984. All 50 states and the District of Columbia , were part of the 1984 United States presidential election . Voters chose seven electors to the Electoral College , which selected the president and vice president of the United States. Kansas was won by incumbent United States President Ronald Reagan of California , who was running against former Vice President Walter Mondale of Minnesota . Reagan ran for a second time with incumbent Vice President and former C.I.A. Director George H. W. Bush of Texas , and Mondale ran with Representative Geraldine Ferraro of New York , the first major female candidate for the vice presidency.
The presidential election of 1984 was a very partisan election for Kansas, with just under 99% of the electorate voting for either the Democratic or Republican parties, though several parties appeared on the ballot.[1] In typical form for the time, nearly every county in Kansas voted in majority for the Republican candidate, a particularly strong turn out even in this typically conservative-leaning state. The only exception to this trend was Kansas City 's Wyandotte County , which voted primarily Democratic.
In this election, Kansas voted about 7 points more Republican than the national average. Reagan won the election in Kansas in a 34-point landslide. Kansas also continued its age-old trend of voting in par with its sister Great Plains States (North Dakota , South Dakota , and Nebraska ), a trend that has not been broken in any presidential election since 1920 .
