Why didn't ME and VT vote for FDR in the 1936 landslide? The states are/were always liberal and progressive but voted against on of the most liberal presidents in history.

Could FDR have won them and sweep all states?

This is patently false.

They only voted Dem once before, in 1912, when TR and Taft split the GOP vote and Wilson carried these states by a plurality. And before the 1920s, the GOP was the more liberal Party. Especially before the 1900s, the Dems were mostly a racist party.
