Here's something I've always wondered about...
Grover Cleveland returned to the White House, elected in 1892 after being turned out in 1888. Despite a comfortable victory, he received no votes in 5 states: Colorado, Idaho, Kansas, North Dakota and Wyoming.
I suspect this could be due to the Democratic state parties supporting the Populist James Weaver, and leaving Cleveland off the ballot. Weaver did very well in all 5 states. However, Cleveland received votes in other states where Weaver did well, including Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, Oregon, South Dakota, and Washington.
Does anyone know why Cleveland did not receive votes in these 5 states?
