Barack Obama Democratic Barack Obama Democratic The 2012 United States presidential election in Hawaii took place on November 6, 2012, as part of the 2012 United States presidential election in which all 50 states plus the District of Columbia participated.
Hawaii voters chose four electors to represent them in the Electoral College via a popular vote pitting incumbent Democratic President Barack Obama and his running mate, Vice President Joe Biden, against Republican challenger and former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney and his running mate, Congressman Paul Ryan.
Prior to the election, leading news organizations considered this a state Obama would win, or otherwise considered as a safe blue state.
The Hawaiian-born president handily won the state's four electoral votes by a wide 42.71% margin of victory.
