The results in Alabama continue the streak of voting for Republicans every presidential election since 1980.
Massachusetts and the District of Columbia are two of the nation's safest Democratic strongholds.
The last time Oklahoma went for a Democrat was 1964, when it voted for Lyndon Johnson. Maryland last went for the GOP in 1988. While New Jersey has been a safe Democratic state for 20 years.
