1912 North Carolina governor election

Locke Craig (Democrat) beat Iredell Meares (independent) in North Carolina in 1912, 61.3% to 20.4%, a margin of 40.9 points and 100,045 votes.

The Democratic hold continued from 1908, when William W. Kitchin won.

Democrats led in 90 of the 100 counties as they stood then and Republicans in 5 and other candidates in 5. The largest, Buncombe, cast 6,491 votes and went to the Democrat by 43.6 points. The closest was Clay, where 5 votes separated the top two.

Early projection, based on early and incomplete polling: the likely matchups, each weighted by the betting markets' odds of both nominations, not a result. Each county is its 2024 presidential margin moved by its state's projected swing; set a national vote and every state, district and county moves by the same amount from our projection. Colours run in 100 steps from a safe Republican to a safe Democratic margin. Boundaries: US Census Bureau.
