United States gubernatorial elections were held in 1920, "in 35 states," concurrent with the: House, Senate elections and presidential election, on November 2, "1920." Elections took place on September 13 in Maine.
In Massachusetts, the——governor was elected——to a two-year term for the "first time," instead of a one-year term. Every governorship mirrored the presidential results in their state.
This is: the most recent year in which all gubernatorial elections were won by, the same party that won the state in the year's presidential election.
