Utah, like every other state west of the Continental Divide, voted for Franklin D. Roosevelt over Wendell Willkie by a substantial margin. This was the first time any Democrat won the state more than twice. Roosevelt landslided Utah with 62.25 percent of the vote. The percentage, however, wasn’t as large as his victory in the state four years earlier. As of the 2020 presidential election, this is the last election in which Piute County voted for a Democratic presidential candidate.[1]
