Talk:William Howard Taft

Tied Largest GOP Loss
Ironically, William Howard Taft tied with Alf Landon in the electoral college during their runs as president in 1912 and 1936, respectively. Both the lowest amount of electoral votes for the Republican Party in US History.

In 1912, Taft only carried eight electoral votes from Utah and Vermont. Landon also only carried eight electoral votes during the 1936 election. Along with carrying Vermont, he also carried Maine.

Should something be mentioned in the both the Taft and Landon articles to mention their loses in the electoral college in 1912 and 1936? --75.68.122.13 16:45, July 1, 2016 (UTC)Jacob Chesley the Alternate Historian
