The1900 United States presidential election in Washington took place on November 6, 1900. All contemporary 45 states were part of the1900 United States presidential election. State voters chose four electors to theElectoral College, which selected thepresident andvice president.
Washington was won by theRepublican nominees, incumbent PresidentWilliam McKinley ofOhio and his running mateTheodore Roosevelt ofNew York. They defeated theDemocratic nominees, formerU.S. Representative and 1896 Democratic presidential nomineeWilliam Jennings Bryan and his running mate, formerVice PresidentAdlai Stevenson I. McKinley won the state by a margin of 11.74% in this rematch of the1896 presidential election. The return of economic prosperity, recent victory in theSpanish–American War, continued American expansion in thePhilippines,[1] and the fading of the Populist revolt of the previous decade ensured that incumbent President McKinley would not have any trouble carrying the state.
McKinley had previously lost Washington to Bryanfour years earlier while Bryan would later lose the state toWilliam Howard Taft in1908.
