1904 United States presidential election in Texas

election in Texas

The 1904 United States presidential election in Texas took place on November 8, 1904. All contemporary 45 states were part of the 1904 United States presidential election. Texas voters chose 18 electors to the Electoral College, which selected the president and vice president.

Texas was won by the Democratic nominees, Chief Judge Alton B. Parker of New York and his running mate Henry G. Davis of West Virginia. They defeated the Republican nominees, incumbent President Theodore Roosevelt and his running mate Charles W. Fairbanks of Indiana. Parker won Texas by a margin of 49.55%.

This election arguably marked the end of Reconstruction in Texas, with voter turnout plunging by over half following the introduction of poll taxes in the state two years prior. With 71.45% of the popular vote, Texas would prove to be Parker's fifth strongest state in the 1904 presidential election after South Carolina, Mississippi, neighboring Louisiana and Alabama. Duval County would not vote Republican for president again until 2024.
