The 1944 United States presidential election in Kansas took place on November 7, 1944, as part of the 1944 United States presidential election. Kansas 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% of the popular vote, against incumbent President Franklin D. Roosevelt (D–New York), running with Senator Harry S. Truman, with 39.18% of the popular vote.[3][4] Dewey’s margin was the biggest against FDR in any state during the four elections he contested[5], and the 104 counties (all bar Wyandotte) that FDR lost is the most he lost in any state during his four elections to the White House.
