Notes
- Because Roosevelt finished ahead of Taft in Alabama as a whole, all margins given are Wilson minus Roosevelt unless stated in the total for the county in question.
- In this county where Taft did run second ahead of Roosevelt, the margin given is that between Wilson and Taft.
- In this county where Debs ran second ahead of both Roosevelt and Taft, the margin given is that between Wilson and Debs.
- For the Roosevelt ticket only, there are differences between the Géoelections/Edgar Eugene Robinson figure and that from Dave Leip’s atlas, with the former used only for the county table.
