Partisan background
The presidential election of 1996 was a very multi-partisan election for North Dakota, with almost 13% of the electorate voting for third-party candidates. All major counties in North Dakota turned out for Dole, including the (relativity) highly populated center of Cass County , which contains the city of Fargo .
In his second bid for the presidency, Ross Perot led the newly reformed Reform Party to gain over 12% of the votes in North Dakota, and to pull in support nationally as the most popular third-party candidate to run for United States Presidency in recent times. His performance in the state was his fifth strongest in the election after Maine , Montana , Idaho and Wyoming .[ 2]
As of the 2016 presidential election [update] Divide County and Ramsey County voted for the Democratic candidate.
