The 1944 United States presidential election in Maine took place on November 7, 1944, as part of the 1944 United States presidential election. State voters chose five electors to the Electoral College, which selected the president and vice president.
Maine was won by Republican Party candidate New York governor Thomas E. Dewey over Democratic candidate, incumbent President Franklin D. Roosevelt. Roosevelt also remains the most recent Democratic president to win more than one term without carrying Maine once.
Dewey won Maine by a narrow margin of 4.99%, making it one of the tighter statewide races in the election.
Along with Vermont, Maine is one of two states that never voted for President Franklin D. Roosevelt in any of his four victorious presidential campaigns.
