The 1988 United States presidential election in Alaska took place on November 8, 1988. All 50 states and the District of Columbia , were part of the 1988 United States presidential election . Alaska voters chose three electors to the Electoral College , which selected the president and vice president .
Alaska was won by incumbent United States Vice President George H. W. Bush of Texas , who was running against Massachusetts Governor Michael Dukakis . Bush ran with Indiana Senator Dan Quayle as vice president, and Dukakis ran with Texas Senator Lloyd Bentsen .
