Missouri was a true battleground state for a century of presidential elections, as the state correctly voted for the ultimate election winner in all but one race from 1904 to 2004.

When Trump took the state in 2016, by a nearly 19% margin over Hillary Clinton, it was the fifth straight Republican victory.

Missouri has 10 electoral votes.
