Editing Ticket balance (section)

===Republican Party===
[[File:Dewey Vintage United States Political Pinback Buttons (15032627145).jpg|thumb|right|250px|Thomas E. Dewey, a Northeasterner, was the Republican nominee in 1944 and 1948. To provide geographic balance to the ticket, he chose a Midwesterner as his running mate the first time and a Westerner the second. ([[Campaign button]]s shown).]]

North-South ticket balance is practiced to a lesser extent by the Republicans, although what is more common is Northeast-Midwest or Northeast-West balance. The Republicans utilized this strategy in every presidential election from 1872 until 1924, however, it has been used in only three since 1968.
