How come it voted for Wilson in 1916 when all other New England states and nearly all other Northern states voted for Hughes? I know New Hampshire was close before in the late 1800s (1876, 1884, 1892, etc.) but I believe this is the first time it voted for a Democrat for President since the Civil War (with the exception of 1912). What do you think is the reason? Is it because people there strongly opposed American entry into WWI, or was it because Wilson had a better campaign organization there than Hughes did? Or did some Democrat win New Hampshire for Governor or some other statewide race and the resulting spillover carried into the presidential race?

Thanks for catching my mistake--NH did vote Democrat in 1912 (along with about 40 other states). However, none of you had answered my question yet--why did Wilson win NH this particular year?
