Hawaii was won by President Jimmy Carter (D) by 1.9 points.[1] Hawaii is a very liberal state, and both of the state's U.S. Senators have been Democrats since 1977,[2] which is partly the reason Reagan lost, albeit very narrowly. As of 2020, this is the last time in which all counties in Hawaii did not vote for the same candidate, and only the second time (the first being 1960) since the state joined the union.
