Virginia was won by Senator Bob Dole (R-KS), 47.10 percent to 45.15 percent over incumbent President Bill Clinton (D-AR) producing a margin of 1.95 percentage points.[1] Billionaire businessman Ross Perot (Reform-TX) finished in third, with 6.62% of the popular vote.
Virginia was also the only state Bill Clinton lost twice but Hillary Clinton won, as she managed a 5 percentage point victory in the state in 2016. As of the 2020 presidential election, this was also the last time Bath, Allegheny, Giles, Smyth, Tazewell, Lee, Wise, Dinwiddie, Accomack Counties, and the independent cities of Galax and Buena Vista voted for a Democratic presidential candidate.[2] The election was, however, the first time the Democratic Presidential nominee had carried Prince Edward County – famous for its Civil Rights-era school desegregation cases – since Harry S. Truman in 1948,[lower-alpha 1] and the first time since 1968 that Essex County had voted Democratic.[3]
In this election, Virginia voted 10.47 points to the right of the nation at-large.[4] This election remains the only time in history that a Democratic president has won re-election without carrying Virginia. As of 2020, this also marked the last time a Democrat was elected without winning Virginia, and the last occasion Virginia would vote to the right of Georgia.
