What is the largest state victory of the democratic party?

I know the largest state victory of the GOP is Mississippi in 1964. For the democrats I think it would be South Carolina in either 1936 or 1912. Anyone know?

I'm guessing FDR in South Carolina in 1936.

In 1832 Andrew Jackson was uncontested in Mississippi, Missouri and Georgia and won 100% of the vote there.

In an actually democratic election? Rhode Island in 1964.

I think this is the largest share since we had republicans vs democrats

Looks like we've probably got the answer for all time and since the Civil War.

Since the passage of the Voting Rights Act in 1965, I think Obama's 92.46% in DC in 2008 is the highest for any subdivision, and his 71.85% in Hawaii in 2008 is the highest for any state for a Democrat. The best I can find for Republicans is 78.2% in MS in 1972. I think Romney's 72.8% in UT is second-place for Republicans in a state, though Trump won NE-3 with 73.9%.

Nixon got 75.04% in Georgia and 73.70% in Oklahoma, and Reagan got 74.50% in Utah, so Romney's 2012 performance in Utah would be in fifth place for Republicans in a state.

Welp, I stand corrected.
