Kansas was won by former home state Senator Bob Dole (R-KS) over President Bill Clinton (D), with Dole winning 54.29% to 36.08% by a margin of 18.21%. Billionaire businessman Ross Perot (Reform Party of the United States of America-TX) finished in third, with 8.62% of the popular vote,[1] a sharp decline from 1992, when Perot captured 27% of the state’s votes and held George H.W. Bush’s victory margin to just over five percentage points. As of the 2020 presidential election, this is the last election in which Atchison County voted for a Democratic presidential candidate.[3]
With 54.39% of the popular vote, Kansas proved to be Dole's second strongest state in the 1996 election after Utah.[4]
