Reviewing Arizona Votes Count as Election Proceeds
Since 2000, Arizona has voted Republican in every previous presidential election, with the exception of Joe Biden in 2020. Former President Donald Trump carried Arizona in 2016 by more than 3.5%, but in 2020, he lost by 0.3%.
Before Biden's victory, the last Democratic presidential candidate Arizona voted for was Bill Clinton in 1996, when he secured a win over Republican Bob Dole by a margin of 2.2%.
Between 1912 and 2020, Arizona has voted for a Democratic president 32.1% of the time, while it has voted for a Republican president 67.9% of the time, according to Ballotpedia. Meanwhile, Arizona has voted for the winning presidential candidate nearly 79% of the time during the same time period.
Arizona holds 11 electoral votes for whoever wins the state and its propensity to pick correctly has given it the reputation of being a bellwether for the rest of the country.
