The1900 United States presidential election in Oregon took place on November 6, 1900. All contemporary 45 states were part of the1900 United States presidential election.Oregon voters chose four electors to theElectoral College, which selected thepresident andvice president.
A return to prosperity, continued American expansion in thePhilippines,[1] and the fading of the Populist revolt that had spread intoSouthern Oregon during the previous decade ensured that incumbent PresidentWilliam McKinley would not have any trouble carrying the state.[2]
Indeed, the Populist voters during the 1890s from southern andEastern Oregon – who had been historically Democratic[2] since before statehood[3] when they were substantially settled by Upland Southerners from theOzarks andAppalachia (in contrast to the already Republican, Yankee-settled Willamette Valley)[4] – turned in substantial numbers to McKinley,[2] so thatJackson County and alsoUmatilla County voted for a Republican presidential candidate for the first time ever andJosephine County for only the second after1888.[5] These results were also replicated in lower-level elections, so that at state level Oregon would remain, with a very briefNew Deal interlude, a one-party state dominated by the Republican Party until the “Revolution of 1954”.[6] Consequently, this would prove the last time untilFranklin D. Roosevelt’s1932 landslide that any Democrat other thanWoodrow Wilson carried any of Oregon's counties in a presidential election.[5]
Bryan had previously lost Oregon to McKinleyfour years earlier and would later lose the state again a third time in1908 toWilliam Howard Taft.
