If you tally up all the votes for President since 1932, who comes out ahead — Democrats or Republicans?

Answer below the fold….

ANSWER: It's a virtual tie.

Total Democratic Presidential Votes Since 1932: 745,250,333

Total Republican Presidential Votes Since 1932: 745,219,199

Total Third-Party Presidential Votes Since 1932: 66,011,946

That's a difference of only 31,134 votes out of over 1.5 billion cast.  Less than one-tenth of one percent.
