Notes

1984Have not found explicit confirmation of a non-endorsement in 1984, but their 1980 editorial plus other references indicate that their no-endorsement policy has been consistent

1992Published an editorial asking President Bush not to stand for reelection (don't consider this a true "anti-endorsement" because it doesn't advise any vote for or against)
