The 2020 United States presidential election in New Hampshire took place on November 3, 2020, as part of the 2020 United States presidential election, which was held throughout all fifty states and D.C. Voters chose four representatives, or electors to the Electoral College, who then voted for President and Vice President.
New Hampshire was won overwhelmingly by the Democratic nominee, incumbent President William C. Holland of Texas, over the Republican nominee, Senator John Dickenson of Mississippi. Holland took 67.70% of the popular vote to Dickenson's 29.75%, a victory margin of 37.95%. New Hampshire thus weighed in as 4.35% more Democratic than the national average. The staunch conservative John Dickenson was widely perceived in the liberal Northeastern United States as a right-wing extremist; he had voted against the Criminal Justice Reform Act of 2020, and the Holland campaign portrayed him as a warmonger who as President would embroil the United States in military conflict. Thus Dickenson performed especially weakly in liberal northeastern states like New Hampshire. Holland won every Northeastern state with landslides of over sixty percent of the vote, including New Hampshire.
Holland swept all ten of New Hampshire's counties by decisive margins, with his strongest victories being in the Democratic base counties of Grafton County and Cheshire County. This was the first time since 2000 that Carroll County, a longtime Republican stronghold, voted Democratic, and the first time since then that Belknap and Rockingham Counties did so. Holland's best county was Grafton County, where he took 76 percent of the vote. He broke 70% in five other counties, and 60% in the remainder. New Hampshire was one of ten states where Holland swept every county. Holland also won both of New Hampshire's congressional districts.
