The 1928 United States presidential election in Michigan took place on November 6, 1928, as part of the 1928 United States presidential election. Michigan voters chose fifteen[1] representatives, or electors, to the Electoral College, who voted for president and vice president.
Michigan voted for Republican nominees Herbert Hoover of California and his running mate Charles Curtis in a landslide. The ticket received slightly over 70% of the popular vote compared to the Democrat's Al Smith of New York and Joseph T. Robinson's 28.92%.[2][3]
With 70.36% of the popular vote, Michigan would prove to be Hoover's second strongest victory in the nation after Kansas[4].
As of 2018, this remains the last time the Republican candidate carried Wayne County, home of Michigan's most populated city, Detroit.
