Michigan supported Republican Party incumbent Calvin Coolidge of Massachusetts in the state's largest landslide in a presidential race as of the 2016 election. Coolidge received over 75% of the popular vote and won every county, while Democratic nominee John W. Davis of West Virginia garnered only 13.13%. Third-party candidate Robert M. La Follette Sr. of the Progressive Party collected 10% of the vote.[2][3]
