The1900 United States presidential election in New York took place on November 6, 1900. All contemporary 45 states were part of the1900 United States presidential election. Voters chose 36 electors to theElectoral College, which selected thepresident andvice president.
New York was won by theRepublican nominees, incumbentPresidentWilliam McKinley ofOhio and his running mateGovernor of New YorkTheodore Roosevelt. McKinley and Roosevelt defeated theDemocratic nominees, formerCongressman and1896 presidential nomineeWilliam Jennings Bryan ofNebraska and his running mate formerVice PresidentAdlai Stevenson I ofIllinois. Also in the running was theSocialist candidate,Eugene V. Debs, who ran withJob Harriman.
McKinley carried New York State with 53.10 percent of the vote to Bryan's 43.83 percent, a victory margin of 9.27 points.
New York weighed in for this election as about three percent more Republican than the national average.
The 1900 election was a direct re-match between McKinley and Bryan who had run against each other four years earlier in 1896. While New York would continue its Republican dominance of theFourth Party System and that McKinley had slightly improved on his national margin, New York swung heavily in Bryan's favor in 1900.Four years earlier, McKinley had defeated Bryan in the state by 18.85 points, sweeping every county in the state exceptPalatine GermanSchoharie County, including rare Republican victories inNew York City. McKinley's 1900 margin of victory in New York State was less than half of his 1896 margin, primarily due to dramatic Democratic gains in New York City. While in 1896 Bryan had lost New York City by about 60,000 votes, in 1900 Bryan won a majority of over 30,000 votes in New York City, winningManhattan,the Bronx,Queens, andStaten Island. Bryan would win New York City again againstWilliam Howard Taft in1908 though he would lose the state again. New York City would not vote Republican again until the Republican landslides of1920 and1924, and would subsequently become a reliably Democratic bastion in every election that followed.
