About the 1900 presidential election
By 1900 the economy had recovered and the country had won a brief war with Spain in 1898, taking control of the Philippines, Puerto Rico and Guam. Bryan, nominated a second time, attacked imperialism and the annexation of the Philippines, while still backing free silver. McKinley's new running mate was Theodore Roosevelt, the governor of New York and a hero of the war in Cuba. McKinley won 292 electoral votes to Bryan's 155, improving on his 1896 total. He took back Kansas, South Dakota, Washington, Utah and Wyoming from Bryan, and even carried Nebraska, Bryan's home state, by 3.2 points. Bryan's only gain was Kentucky, which he won by 1.7 points. He also held Idaho by 3.9. Outside the South, Bryan's support was confined mainly to a few silver-mining states. The result confirmed the Republican majority built in 1896. McKinley did not complete his second term: he was shot in Buffalo in September 1901 and died days later, making Roosevelt, at 42, the youngest president in the nation's history.

Margin: the Democrat's share of all votes minus the Republican's. Margins are Democrat minus Republican, of all votes. Certified results, from the states' own archives, the MIT Election Data and Science Lab, Heideman (2026) and Algara & Amlani (2021). Maine and Nebraska are shown whole, without their district votes. By county: "As they were" draws each county as it stood on election day; "Today's" shares the old votes among today's counties by area, so its county detail is an estimate.
