Hawaii was won by Georgia Governor Jimmy Carter by 2.53 points. It was the only postbellum state won by Carter: since William McKinley in 1896 no other candidate has won the presidency whilst winning so few as one postbellum state.[lower-alpha 1] In fact, Carter did not win any other state west of the hundredth meridian, including the Pacific states of Oregon and California admitted before the civil war.

Notes
- Since 1912 when all the states of the contiguous US had been admitted, James M. Cox in 1920, Al Smith in 1928, Herbert Hoover in 1932, Alf Landon in 1936, Adlai Stevenson II in 1952 and 1956, George McGovern in 1972 and Walter Mondale in 1984 were clean-swept in postbellum states. None of these candidates received more than 127 electoral votes, whereas minus Hawaii’s four, Carter totalled 293.
