This quiz is based on the Wikipedia article about landslide elections. So there are some near misses

- The time Bill Clinton got 379 does not count, neither does Obama's 365

-George Washington does not count because he ran unopposed

- FDR's 523-8 is a record because he won 98.5 percent of the electoral vote, the highest in history.

FDR's elections total a score of 1880-248. He absolutely killed it!

1820? There was no other contestant so he won all the elec. votes. Same with 1788 and 1792

Unopposed elections dont count. If there was no competitor, you cannot say its a landslide
