The 1988 United States presidential election in Alaska took place on November 8, 1988. All 50 states and the District of Columbia , were part of the 1988 United States presidential election . Alaska voters chose three electors to the Electoral College , which selected the president and vice president .
Alaska was won by incumbent United States Vice President George H. W. Bush of Texas , who was running against Massachusetts Governor Michael Dukakis . Bush ran with Indiana Senator Dan Quayle as vice president, and Dukakis ran with Texas Senator Lloyd Bentsen .
Bush won the election in Alaska with a resounding 23 point sweep-out landslide. Alaska has sent Republican electors to the Electoral College during every election in its history – except in 1964 , where electors were sent for Democrat Lyndon B. Johnson .
The election was rather multi-partisan for Alaska, with nearly 5% of the votes going to third-party candidates. Leading the third-party turnout in Alaska, and with one of their best turnouts nationwide, Texas Congressman Ron Paul with running-mate and Alaska Legislator Andre Marrou were able to pull nearly 3% of votes in the state on the Libertarian Party ticket.
Alaska weighed in for this election as 16% more Republican than the national average.
