A list of Presidents where only candidates and Electoral Votes from states of the Northeastern United States (As defined by the Census, NJ and PA northward) determined the election, including both candidates born outside the NE that moved there, or candidates born in the NE that later left. I find it interesting how the Democrats went crazy in 1976 or 2012, I guess sometimes its better that we don't decide who the candidates are all the time.
