Roosevelt Wins Help Iowa Votes GOP Captures State Offices
The 1936 Iowa election returns show Willkie winning all 11 electoral votes and a full Republican slate for state offices. Willkie led by over 50,000 in town results while Wilson improved, with Democrats losing ground in district offices and Governor Kraschel’s margin narrowing. Vincent Harrington held a congressional seat by a slim 1,961 votes over Albert Swanson, and C. S. Thomas ran unopposed for district court judge. Republican R. E. Hess led over L. J. McGivern for state senator in the 46th district.
