Our most recent question was in honor of Ohio and Oregon’s NCAA match up. When was the last time Ohio and Oregon, in the same year, voted for a presidential candidate in the primary who ultimately failed to win their party’s nomination?
The answer? 1984 — when Democrats in both Ohio and Oregon voted for Gary Hart, who lost the nomination to Walter Mondale.
And the winner is Martha Moore of Forest Hills, N.Y. Martha wins the coveted Political Junkie button.
