No other Democrat won both Georgia and Vermont in the same election.
From 1856 to now, the EV of these states went to the same candidate only in 1972, 1984, 1988 and 1992.



Clinton was more efficient in 1992 than he was in 1996. He had a bigger margin in the popular vote in 1996, but he won one more state in 1992.
