Top 5 Interesting Presidential Election Firsts to Watch For

2. The Curse of Ohio

Donald Trump could become the first Republican since 2004 to win the state of Ohio. However, a more dubious distinction is that Trump could very realistically become the first candidate since Richard Nixon in 1960 to win Ohio while also losing the presidential election. Even more unbelievably, Ohio has voted for the loser on only 9 of the 53 occasions in which it has voted: 1960, 1944, 1892, 1884, 1856, 1848, 1844, 1836, and 1824.
