1984 United States presidential election in Oklahoma
The 1984 United States presidential election in Oklahoma 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 eight electors to the Electoral College , which selected the president and vice president of the United States.
Oklahoma 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 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. Reagan won all but three counties, and lost the three he did lose by a combined aggregate of only 381 votes.
Nearly every county in Oklahoma voted in majority for the Republican candidate, a particularly strong turnout even in this typically archconservative state. This trend included Oklahoma City 's Oklahoma County . Reagan did best in Texas County , and Mondale did best in Hughes County . The former Democratic stronghold in the Southeastern part of the state is evident in this election as only marginally Republican. Oklahoma weighed in for this election as 10% more Republican than the national average. Reagan's 68.61% of the vote has not been matched in the state since this election.
