Missouri gained statehood in August 1821. A midwestern state bordering the south, Missouri is a true swing state with amazing historical accuracy at voting for the ultimate election winner. Since 1904, Missourians have gotten it wrong just once – preferring Adlai Stevenson over Dwight Eisenhower in 1956. Like many midwestern states, population growth has been slower in recent decades than the country as a whole, resulting in declining electoral influence. From a peak of 18 electoral votes just prior to the Great Depression, Missouri has been reduced to 11 today, and may lose one more in 2012, pending the outcome of the 2010 census. In 2004, George W. Bush defeated John Kerry 53% to 46% here.
