Crook County, Gilliam County, Josephine County, Klamath County, Lake County, Malheur County, Umatilla County, and Union County all voted Republican for the first time in this election, while Baker County did not vote Democratic for the time as well. This was also the first election since 1862 that Jackson County, Linn County, and Wasco County did not back the Democratic candidate. In fact, this was the only election between 1862 and 1938 in which Linn County voted Republican.
