Apresidential election was held inIndiana on November 6, 1900, as part of the1900 United States presidential election. TheRepublican ticket of the incumbentpresidentWilliam McKinley and thegovernor of New YorkTheodore Roosevelt defeated theDemocratic ticket of the formerU.S. representative fromNebraska's 1st congressional districtWilliam Jennings Bryan and the formervice presidentAdlai Stevenson I. McKinley defeated Bryan in the national election with 292electoral votes.[2]
Indiana chose 15 electors on a statewidegeneral ticket. Prevailing election laws required voters to elect each member of the Electoral College individually, rather than as a group. This sometimes resulted in small differences in the number of votes cast for electors pledged to the same presidential candidate, if some voters did not vote for all the electors nominated by a party.[3] The following table quotes the official returns published by thesecretary of state of Indiana, which list the votes for the first elector on each ticket.[4]
