The 2012 United States presidential election in Kansas took place on November 6, 2012, as part of the 2012 United States presidential election in which all 50 states plus the District of Columbia participated. Kansas voters chose six electors to represent them in the Electoral College via a popular vote pitting incumbent Democratic President Barack Obama and his running mate, Vice President Joe Biden, against Republican challenger and former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney and his running mate, Congressman Paul Ryan. Romney and Ryan carried the state with 59.59 percent of the popular vote to Obama's and Biden's 38.00 percent, thus winning the state's six electoral votes.[1]
Obama carried only two counties: Douglas, home to Lawrence and the University of Kansas; and Wyandotte, home to Kansas City and the state's largest concentration of nonwhite voters. He lost Crawford County, home to Pittsburg State University, which he won in 2008, thereby making him the first Democrat to win the White House without carrying this county since John F. Kennedy in 1960.

The Republican caucuses were held on Saturday, March 10, 2012.[2][3] Kansas had 40 delegates to the 2012 Republican National Convention. 25 of these delegates were allocated proportionally to candidates who exceeded a 20% threshold in the statewide vote tally. The 15 remaining delegates were 'winner-take-all' delegates. 12 delegates were given (3 each) to the candidates with most votes in each of Kansas's 4 congressional districts. 3 delegates were awarded to the candidate with most votes statewide.[4]
Rick Santorum won the caucus and will received 33 delegates. He won the state with 51% of the statewide vote and received most votes in all of the congressional districts, thus winning 15 delegates. As only Santorum and Mitt Romney exceeded the 20% threshold, 18 of the 25 proportionally allocated delegates were allocated to Santorum and 7 to Romney.

The 2012 United States presidential election in Kansas took place on November 6, 2012, as part of the 2012 United States presidential election in which all 50 states plus the District of Columbia participated. Kansas voters chose six electors to represent them in the Electoral College via a popular vote pitting incumbent Democratic President Barack Obama and his running mate, Vice President Joe Biden, against Republican challenger and former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney and his running mate, Congressman Paul Ryan. Romney and Ryan carried the state with 59.59 percent of the popular vote to Obama's and Biden's 38.00 percent, thus winning the state's six electoral votes.[1]
Obama carried only two counties: Douglas, home to Lawrence and the University of Kansas; and Wyandotte, home to Kansas City and the state's largest concentration of nonwhite voters. He lost Crawford County, home to Pittsburg State University, which he won in 2008, thereby making him the first Democrat to win the White House without carrying this county since John F. Kennedy in 1960.
Caucuses
Democratic caucuses
No major Democratic candidate challenged President Obama for the Democratic nomination in 2012. Obama thus won all 517 votes at the State Convention on June 9 and all 53 delegates.

The Republican caucuses were held on Saturday, March 10, 2012.[2][3] Kansas had 40 delegates to the 2012 Republican National Convention. 25 of these delegates were allocated proportionally to candidates who exceeded a 20% threshold in the statewide vote tally. The 15 remaining delegates were 'winner-take-all' delegates. 12 delegates were given (3 each) to the candidates with most votes in each of Kansas's 4 congressional districts. 3 delegates were awarded to the candidate with most votes statewide.[4]
Rick Santorum won the caucus and will received 33 delegates. He won the state with 51% of the statewide vote and received most votes in all of the congressional districts, thus winning 15 delegates. As only Santorum and Mitt Romney exceeded the 20% threshold, 18 of the 25 proportionally allocated delegates were allocated to Santorum and 7 to Romney.
