The 1996 United States presidential election in Kansas took place on November 5, 1996, as part of the 1996 United States presidential election. Voters chose 6 representatives, or electors to the Electoral College, who voted for president and vice president.
Kansas was won by Senator Bob Dole (R-KS) over President Bill Clinton (D), with Dole winning 54.29% to 36.08% by a margin of 18.21%. Billionaire businessman Ross Perot (Reform Party of the United States of America-TX) finished in third, with 8.62% of the popular vote,[1] a sharp decline from 1992, when Perot captured 27% of the state’s votes and held George H.W. Bush’s victory margin to just over five percentage points. As of the 2016 presidential election[update], this is the last election in which Atchison County voted for a Democratic presidential candidate.[3]
With 54.39% of the popular vote, Kansas proved to be Dole's second strongest state in the 1996 election after Utah.[4]
