1984 United States presidential election in Washington (state), Partisan background
The presidential election of 1984 was a very partisan election for Washington, with over 98 percent of the electorate voting for either the Democratic or Republican parties. Nearly all counties in Washington voted mainly Republican, save a handful of counties along the southern Pacific coast of the state, which voted mainly Democratic. This included Seattle's highly populated King County, which is the most recent time Seattle has voted Republican. This is also the last time that Pierce County, Thurston County, and San Juan County voted Republican.

Washington weighed in for this election as 3% more Democratic than the national average.

Walter Mondale accepted the Democratic nomination for presidency after pulling narrowly ahead of Senator Gary Hart of Colorado and Rev. Jesse Jackson of Illinois - his main contenders during what would be a very contentious Democratic primary. During the campaign, Mondale was vocal about reduction of government spending, and, in particular, was vocal against heightened military spending on the nuclear arms race against the Soviet Union, which was reaching its peak on both sides in the early 1980s.

Taking a (what was becoming the traditional liberal) stance on the social issues of the day, Mondale advocated for gun control, the right to choose regarding abortion, and strongly opposed the repeal of laws regarding institutionalized prayer in public schools. He also criticized Reagan for what he charged was his economic marginalization of the poor, stating that Reagan's reelection campaign was "a happy talk campaign," not focused on the real issues at hand.

A very significant political move during this election: the Democratic Party nominated Representative Geraldine Ferraro to run with Mondale as Vice-President. Ferraro is the first female candidate to receive such a nomination in United States history. She said in an interview at the 1984 Democratic National Convention that this action "opened a door which will never be closed again," speaking to the role of women in politics.


1984 United States presidential election in Washington (state), Republican platform
By 1984, Ronald Wilson Reagan was very popular with voters across the nation as the President who saw them out of the economic stagflation of the early and middle 1970's, and into a period of (relative) economic stability.


1984 United States presidential election in Washington (state), Republican platform
The economic success seen under Reagan was politically accomplished (principally) in two ways. The first was initiation of deep tax cuts for the wealthy, and the second was a wide-spectrum of tax cuts for crude oil production and refinement, namely, with the 1980 Windfall profits tax cuts. These policies were augmented with a call for heightened military spending, the cutting of social welfare programs for the poor, and the increasing of taxes on those making less than $50,000 per year. Collectively called "Reaganomics", these economic policies were established through several pieces of legislation passed between 1980 and 1987.


1984 United States presidential election in Washington (state), Republican platform
Some of these new policies also arguably curbed several existing tax loopholes, preferences, and exceptions, but Reaganomics is typically remembered for its trickle down effect of taxing poor Americans more than rich ones. Reaganomics has (along with legislation passed under presidents George H. W. Bush and Bill Clinton) been criticized by many analysts as "setting the stage" for economic troubles in the United States after 2007, such as the Great Recession.


1984 United States presidential election in Washington (state), Republican platform
Virtually unopposed during the Republican primaries, Reagan ran on a campaign of furthering his economic policies. Reagan vowed to continue his "war on drugs," passing sweeping legislation after the 1984 election in support of mandatory minimum sentences for drug possession. Furthermore, taking a (what was becoming the traditional conservative) stance on the social issues of the day, Reagan strongly opposed legislation regarding comprehension of gay marriage, abortion, and (to a lesser extent) environmentalism, regarding the final as simply being bad for business.


1984 United States presidential election in Washington (state), Republican victory
Reagan won the election in Washington with a decisive 13 point landslide. The election results in Washington are reflective of a nationwide reconsolidation of base for the Republican Party which took place through the 1980s; called by Reagan the "second American Revolution." This was most evident during the 1984 presidential election. No Republican candidate has received as strong of support in the American Pacific states at large, as Californian Reagan did. This is also the most recent election cycle where Washington sent Republican electors to the Electoral College.


1984 United States presidential election in Washington (state), Republican victory
It is speculated that Mondale lost support with voters nearly immediately during the campaign, namely during his acceptance speech at the 1984 Democratic National Convention. There he stated that he intended to increase taxes. To quote Mondale, "By the end of my first term, I will reduce the Reagan budget deficit by two thirds. Let's tell the truth. It must be done, it must be done. Mr. Reagan will raise taxes, and so will I. He won't tell you. I just did." Despite this claimed attempt at establishing truthfulness with the electorate, this claim to raise taxes badly eroded his chances in what had already begun as an uphill battle against the charismatic Ronald Reagan.


1984 United States presidential election in Washington (state), Republican victory
Reagan also enjoyed high levels of bipartisan support during the 1984 presidential election in Washington, and across the nation at large. Many registered Democrats who voted for Reagan (Reagan Democrats) stated that they had chosen to do so because they associated him with the economic recovery, because of his strong stance on national security issues with The Soviet Union, and because they considered the Democrats as "supporting American poor and minorities at the expense of the middle class." These public opinion factors contributed to Reagan's 1984 landslide victory, in Washington and elsewhere.

As of the 2020 presidential election, this is the last election where the Republican candidate won King County, home of Seattle.


1984 United States presidential election in West Virginia
The 1984 United States presidential election in West Virginia took place on November 6, 1984. All 50 states and the District of Columbia, were part of the 1984 United States presidential election. West Virginia voters chose 6 electors to the Electoral College, which selected the president and vice president of the United States.


1984 United States presidential election in West Virginia
West Virginia was won by incumbent United States President Ronald Reagan of California, who was running against former Vice President Walter Mondale of Minnesota. Reagan ran for a second time with incumbent Vice President and former C.I.A. Director George H. W. Bush of Texas, and Mondale ran with Representative Geraldine Ferraro of New York, the first major female candidate for the vice presidency.


1984 United States presidential election in West Virginia, Partisan background
The presidential election of 1984 was a very partisan election for West Virginia, with over 99% of the electorate voting for either the Democratic or Republican parties, and only five parties appearing on the ballot. Most counties turned out for Reagan except for a bloc of heavily unionized, coal-dependent counties in the southern part of the state bordering Virginia and Kentucky.

Reagan won the election in West Virginia by a decisive 10.6% margin. While a comfortable victory, this made West Virginia 7.6% more Democratic than the nation at large, as well as Walter Mondale's ninth-best state. West Virginia had been typically Democratic since the New Deal realignment and would remain so up until the turn of the century, when George W. Bush carried the state in 2000 by over six points despite narrowly losing the national popular vote.


1984 United States presidential election in West Virginia, Republican victory
From 1932 through 1996, West Virginia voted Republican only in the national Republican landslides of 1956, 1972, and 1984; of the three, West Virginia weighed in as more Republican than the nation only in 1972. West Virginia would return to form as a typically Democratic state in 1988, when it was one of only ten states to support Michael Dukakis.


1984 United States presidential election in West Virginia, Republican victory
Mondale's greatest strength came from heavily unionized southern West Virginia, where he broke 60% in McDowell, Logan, Mingo, Boone, and Fayette Counties; he also carried a number of counties in central West Virginia and two in the Northern Panhandle. Reagan comfortably carried Kanawha County, the state's biggest county and one that was less typically Democratic at the time than some others in the state (having voted to re-elect Carter by only 0.3%), and also carried the state's other then-typically Democratic population centers, Harrison County (Clarksburg), Raleigh County (Beckley), and Monongalia County (Morgantown), by margins ranging from narrow to substantial.


1984 United States presidential election in West Virginia, Republican victory
He won the swing population center of Cabell County (Huntington) by about the same as his national margin, and got over 2/3 of the vote in the state's largest typically Republican county, Wood County (Parkersburg). Reagan's best county was the unionist and ancestrally Republican Grant County, which no Democrat has won and which gave Reagan over 80% of its ballots.


1984 United States presidential election in West Virginia, Republican victory
His strongest performances in general were in the northeast of the state, where, along with strong support from Grant and likewise unionist and ancestrally Republican Morgan County, he also did well in Hampshire and Hardy Counties, which had begun to transition from typically Democratic to typically Republican in 1968; and along the middle portion of West Virginia's river border with Ohio. Both were typically Republican-leaning regions within what was otherwise an overall Democratic state at the time.


1984 United States presidential election in Wisconsin
The 1984 United States presidential election in Wisconsin took place on November 6, 1984. All 50 states and the District of Columbia, were part of the 1984 United States presidential election. State voters chose 11 electors to the Electoral College, which selected the president and vice president of the United States.


1984 United States presidential election in Wisconsin
Wisconsin was won by incumbent United States President Ronald Reagan of California, who was running against former Vice President Walter Mondale of Minnesota. Reagan ran for a second time with incumbent Vice President and former C.I.A. Director George H. W. Bush of Texas, and Mondale ran with Representative Geraldine Ferraro of New York, the first major party female candidate for the vice presidency. This would be the last time Wisconsin would vote for a Republican in a presidential election until Donald Trump won the state in 2016.


1984 United States presidential election in Wisconsin, Partisan background
The presidential election of 1984 was a very partisan election for Wisconsin, with over 99 percent of the electorate voting only either Democratic or Republican, though eight additional parties appeared on the ballot. Reagan carried a majority in most of Wisconsin's counties, whereas Mondale carried a majority in ten, mostly in the far northwest of the state, along the Lake Superior coast and across from Minnesota's Iron Range, along with Milwaukee County, Dane County, Kenosha County, and almost entirely Native American Menominee County. Two relatively geographically isolated rural counties--Pepin County in the west central Wisconsin and Portage County in central Wisconsin--rounded out the list; these were Mondale's two weakest wins. One county, Polk County in the northwest, gave neither nominee a majority, but gave Reagan a plurality.

Reagan posted strong wins along the whole of eastern Wisconsin, apart from Manitowoc, Sheboygan, and Racine Counties, and the two Mondale wins in Milwaukee and Kenosha. He posted a particularly strong win in suburban Waukesha County, which he won by over thirty points. In western Wisconsin, Reagan won most of the counties but his margins tended to be weaker.

Wisconsin weighed in for this election as 10 points more Democratic than the national average. As of the 2020 presidential election, this is the last election in which Eau Claire County, La Crosse County, Rock County, and Iowa County voted for a Republican presidential candidate, as well as the last election in which a Republican candidate won more than 40% of the vote in either Dane County or Milwaukee County, both of which have voted Democratic in increasingly large margins since.

Reagan won the election in Wisconsin by a solid 9 point margin. While a sound victory, this made Wisconsin 9.1% more Democratic than the nation, signalling the consolidation of a new, short-lived Democratic base in the Upper Midwest. Before 1976, Wisconsin had tended to lean Republican in close elections, voting narrowly for Nixon in 1960 and 1968. In 1976, it narrowly, but surprisingly, voted for Carter.


1984 United States presidential election in Wisconsin, Republican victory
Four years later, Wisconsin would become one of only ten states to back Michael Dukakis, making George H. W. Bush the first Republican to win the White House despite losing Wisconsin to the Democratic nominee. (Calvin Coolidge had won in 1924 despite losing Wisconsin to the third-party Progressive candidate, and Wisconsinite, Robert La Follette.) Cracks in this new base were evident as early as 2000, when Al Gore carried Wisconsin by less than 1%. In 2016, Donald Trump became the first Republican to carry Wisconsin since 1984. It returned to the Democratic camp in 2020, although again by less than 1%.

The 1984 Victorian Football Association season was the 103rd season of the top division of the Australian rules football competition, and the 24th season of second division competition. The Division 1 premiership was won by the Preston Football Club, after it defeated Frankston in the Grand Final on 23 September by 54 points; it was Preston's fourth Division 1 premiership, and its second in a row. The Division 2 premiership was won by Box Hill; it was the club's first premiership in either division since joining the Association in 1951.


1984 VFA season, Association membership
On 25 January, the Association's board of directors declined to renew Yarraville's membership; this decision was made unilaterally by the board of directors, and did not require a vote of club delegates. The decision followed a review of Yarraville's on-field and off-field position which concluded that the club had no prospects of long-term viability.


1984 VFA season, Association membership
The club had been in decline since its relegation from Division 1 in 1970, and had almost folded in 1976; it could not attract sufficient fans or sponsors from the Yarraville area, which had a declining population and an increasing ethnic demographic, and consequently struggled to finance a competitive team – in 1983, the club had won one senior game and been winless in both minor grades.


1984 VFA season, Association membership
The decision ended Yarraville's 57-year affiliation with the Association, which had yielded two top division premierships (1935 and 1961). The club initially sought to compete in another competition, but ultimately disbanded. Yarraville's departure resulted in Division 2 being reduced to eleven clubs, and the Association as a whole to twenty-three clubs. Yarraville was the first of fifteen clubs to leave the Association during its period of decline between 1984 and 1996.

Rather than redraft the fixture, the club drawn to play Yarraville each week instead had a bye; because the fixture was unbalanced, this meant that seven clubs had two byes and four clubs had one bye. In the ladder, a bye was treated as though it were a Yarraville forfeiture: the club was awarded a win and four premiership points, was credited with the round's average winning score as 'points for', and debited the round's average losing score as 'points against'. The ladder as it is shown here distinguishes byes from wins in completed matches, but not all sources make this distinction.


1984 VFA season, Notable events, Interleague matches
The Association's Division 1 and Division 2 teams each played one interleague match during the season. Gary Brice was coach of the Division 1 team for the fourth consecutive season, despite the fact that he was no longer an Association coach: he had left Port Melbourne and was now serving as a specialist coach at League club Essendon; Ray Shaw (Preston) was captain. Geoff Rosenow (Mordialloc) was coach of the Division 2 team, and Peter Allen (Berwick) was captain.


1984 VFL Grand Final
The 1984 VFL Grand Final was an Australian rules football game contested between the Essendon Football Club and Hawthorn Football Club, held at the Melbourne Cricket Ground in Melbourne on 29 September 1984. It was the 88th annual grand final of the Victorian Football League, staged to determine the premiers for the 1984 VFL season. The match, attended by 92,685 spectators, was won by Essendon by a margin of 24 points, marking that club's 13th premiership victory.


1984 VFL Grand Final, Background
It was a grand final rematch of the previous season's grand final in which Hawthorn defeated Essendon by a then record 83 points.


1984 VFL Grand Final, Background
Essendon topped the home and away season ladder a game clear of their grand final opponents; however, Hawthorn won both home and away contests between the two teams. Despite having won 12 premierships, Essendon's most recent premiership had been in 1965 over St Kilda, who were coached by current Hawthorn coach Allan Jeans.


1984 VFL Grand Final, Background
In the finals series, the Hawks defeated Carlton by 30 points in the qualifying final, and beat the Bombers by eight points in the second semi-final to advance to the grand final. Essendon faced Collingwood in the preliminary final, demolishing the Magpies by a record 133 points on the back of a 28-goal performance to advance to the grand final.


1984 VFL Grand Final, Match summary, First quarter
Hawthorn dominated the game early. Captain Leigh Matthews had the first goal on the scoreboard within thirty seconds of the opening bounce, and Colin Robertson, utilising his pace, added two more. Essendon had hoped to throw Hawthorn off balance early by playing Roger Merrett in the ruck and shifting Simon Madden, by now one of the finest ruckmen in the VFL, to full forward. Hawthorn countered his by putting Ian Paton in the ruck and moving Michael Byrne to full forward. Madden consequently languished in Essendon's forward line doing nothing while the ball was spending more time at the other end of the ground. Sheedy soon moved Madden back to the ruck, but at quarter time Hawthorn led by 21.


1984 VFL Grand Final, Match summary, Second quarter
Goals to Ken Judge and Matthews saw Hawthorn increase their lead to 32 points. Essendon, despite getting more possession, made little impact in front of goals, but when Bombers kicked their third for the match, by Billy Duckworth, they remained in touch and trailed by 25 points at the half time break.


1984 VFL Grand Final, Match summary, Third quarter
The third quarter was a low-scoring affair, more notable for the changes to field positions that Essendon coach Kevin Sheedy applied in an attempt to stem the flow of Hawthorn goals. While common today, at the time it was very unusual for a coach to make such radical changes as shifting backline players to the forward line and vice versa. Paul Weston was shifted from defence to centre half forward, captain Terry Daniher was moved to defence, while another defender, Peter Bradbury, was moved to half-forward. With these positional changes, Essendon managed to get within three goals of the lead, but Dermott Brereton kicked a late goal for Hawthorn to give them a 23-point lead going into the final term.


1984 VFL Grand Final, Match summary, Fourth quarter
Essendon got off to the perfect start in the final quarter. Madden, who had been ordinary for much of the game, won the opening bounce. The ball fell to Williams, who kicked the ball forward, where Baker was in the perfect position to run onto the spilled ball from a marking contest and kick his third goal of the match. Minutes later, Bradbury kicked a goal from the back of a pack.


1984 VFL Grand Final, Match summary, Fourth quarter
Essendon's charge continued when the ball made its way to Duckworth at half forward who passed it to an unmanned Mark Thompson who put it through from 40 metres out directly in front. The Bombers hit the front in spectacular fashion when, from the resultant centre bounce, Williams kicked towards the right half-forward flank. The ball bounced favourably for Baker, who evaded Hawks defender David O'Halloran with a brilliant blind turn and booted his fourth goal, to the delight of Essendon fans.


1984 VFL Grand Final, Match summary, Fourth quarter
Hawthorn was back in front when Peter Curran goaled from a 15-metre penalty but Essendon soon regained their advantage when Roger Merrett took a pack mark in the goal square before converting. Weston extended Essendon's lead to 11 points minutes later and then Tim Watson goaled twice to seal the comeback win for Essendon. The Bombers kicked 9.6 in the final term to break free from the Hawks. It would not be until 2009 that another team would win the grand final from a three-quarter time deficit. The 23-point three quarter time deficit is the largest ever overcome to achieve victory in a Grand Final in VFL/AFL history. (North Melbourne overcame a 27-point three quarter time deficit to draw the 1977 VFL Grand Final).


1984 VFL Grand Final, Match summary, Fourth quarter
The Norm Smith Medal was awarded to Duckworth for being judged the best player afield. Watson, Baker, Mark Harvey, Shane Heard and Neil Clarke were also prominent for the Bombers, while Richard Loveridge, Gary Ayres, Peter Schwab, Terry Wallace and Chris Mew were the best for Hawthorn.


1984 VFL Grand Final, Match summary, Fourth quarter
Essendon's win ended an 18-year streak during which only Hawthorn, Richmond, Carlton and North Melbourne had won the premiership.


1984 VFL Grand Final, Match summary, Fourth quarter
The attendance of 92,685 was the smallest at an MCG grand final for 29 years. The match was the first grand final played in the aftermath of the off-field dispute between the League, which wanted to stage the grand final at VFL Park, and the Melbourne Cricket Club and the Cain state government, which wanted to stage the grand final at the MCG.


1984 VFL Grand Final, Match summary, Fourth quarter
Under the terms agreed to in early 1984, an area in the Members' and Olympic Stands was set aside for 44,000 MCC and VFL Park members, but only 31,000 attended, leaving a large vacant area at the top of the Olympic Stand. Uncertainty about the new arrangements, accusations that the demand for members tickets had been overestimated, and breezy and cool conditions in the wake of a heavy overnight hailstorm were all considered to have discouraged many spectators from attending.

Ten players from this game later went on to become senior VFL/AFL coaches.

1984 Vuelta a España
The 39th Edition Vuelta a España (Tour of Spain), a long-distance bicycle stage race and one of the 3 Grand Tours, was held from 17 April to 6 May 1984. It consisted of 19 stages covering a total of 3,593 km, and was won by Éric Caritoux of the Skil-Sem cycling team. It was one of the most surprising grand tour victories in cycling history as Caritoux, a virtual unknown who was part of a lineup that was thrown together at the last minute, won by the closest margin in history.


1984 Vuelta a España
Caritoux, a second year professional, had shown his climbing talent earlier that year by winning the stage up the Mont-Ventoux of the 1984 Paris–Nice but he did not enter the 1984 Vuelta a Espana thinking of the overall classification.


1984 Vuelta a España
On stage 8 Roger de Vlaeminck, one of the oldest riders professionally, won the first Vuelta stage of his career which gave him a stage win in all three grand tours. Fourteen years earlier he won his first grand tour stage during the 1970 Tour de France and had won 22 Giro stages in between. On the 12th stage to Lagos de Covadonga an area in Asturias which includes one of the most important climbs of the Vuelta, Caritoux finished second behind the German Raimund Dietzen. Caritoux took the leader’s jersey from Pedro Delgado.


1984 Vuelta a España
Alberto Fernández was 32 seconds behind Caritoux in the general classification at that stage. Fernández had been third the year previously in the Vuelta a España and in the Giro d'Italia. On the stage 14 mountain time trial, Caritoux lost five seconds. Caritoux lost further time in the final individual time trial but still managed to finish the race with a slender lead of six seconds over Fernández, the smallest margin in the history of the Vuelta a España, and also the smallest ever seen in a Grand Tour. Fernández died later on in 1984.


1984 Vuelta a España, Teams
Thirteen teams were invited by the race organizers to participate in the 1984 edition of the Vuelta a España, six of which were based outside of Spain. Each team sent a squad of team riders, which meant that the race started with a peloton of 130 cyclists. From the riders that began the race, 97 made it to the finish in Madrid.


1984 Vuelta a España, Route and stages
Covering a total of 3,489 km (2,168 mi), it included three individual time trials, and thirteen stages with categorized climbs that awarded mountains classification points. Two of these thirteen stages had summit finishes: stage 7, to Rassos de Peguera; and stage 12, to Lagos de Enol. Another stage with a mountain-top finish was stage 14, which consisted of a climbing time trial to Monte Narasco. The organizers chose to include no rest days. When compared to the previous year's race, the race was 91 km (57 mi) longer and contained the same amount of time trials, stages, and rest days.


1984 Vuelta a España, Classification leadership
Three different jerseys were worn during the 1984 Vuelta a España. The leader of the general classification – calculated by adding the stage finish times of each rider, and allowing time bonuses for the first three finishers on mass-start stages – wore a golden jersey. This classification is the most important of the race, and its winner is considered as the winner of the Vuelta.


1984 Vuelta a España, Classification leadership
For the points classification, which awarded a light blue jersey to its leader, cyclists were given points for finishing a stage in the top 15; additional points could also be won in intermediate sprints. The green jersey was awarded to the mountains classification leader. In this ranking, points were won by reaching the summit of a climb ahead of other cyclists. Each climb was ranked as either first, second or third category, with more points available for higher category climbs. The leader of the mountains classification wore a green jersey.


1984 Vuelta a España, Classification leadership
Although no jersey was awarded, there was also one classification for the teams, in which the stage finish times of the best three cyclists per team were added; the leading team was the one with the lowest total time.
