The 1928 United States presidential election in Maryland took place on November 6, 1928 as part of the 1928 United States presidential election. Voters chose eight representatives, or electors to the Electoral College, who voted for president and vice president.
Herbert Hoover would win Maryland by a margin of 14.73 percent against Al Smith. Hoover won all eight of the state's electoral votes as a result. Despite Hoover's landslide win, Maryland voted 2.68% more Democratic than the nation at-large.[1] Hoover became the first ever Republican victor in Wicomico and Worcester counties.[2] Maryland would not vote Republican again until 1948.[3]
