Property	Value
dbo:abstract	The 1916 United States presidential election in West Virginia took place on November 7, 1916, as part of the 1916 United States presidential election which was held throughout all contemporary 48 states. Voters chose eight representatives, or electors to the Electoral College, who voted for president and vice president. West Virginia was won by the Republican nominee, U.S. Supreme Court Justice Charles Evans Hughes of New York, and his running mate Senator Charles W. Fairbanks of Indiana. Hughes and Fairbanks defeated the Democratic nominees, incumbent Democratic President Woodrow Wilson and Vice President Thomas R. Marshall. Voters in West Virginia chose each of the eight electors individually, rather than how voters in most other states selected between two full slates of electors all pledging support for one candidate or the other. Hughes won the Mountain State by a very narrow margin of 0.94% - the state's second-closest presidential election result in history, only behind Grover Cleveland's 0.32% victory in 1888 - but one elector pledged for Wilson won, and as a result, Wilson received one electoral vote from West Virginia. This was the first time a losing Republican presidential candidate would carry West Virginia, and this would not happen again until John McCain carried the state in 2008. (en)
