The 1908 United States presidential election in South Carolina took place on November 3, 1908, as part of the 1908 United States presidential election. Voters chose nine representatives, or electors to the Electoral College, who voted for president and vice president.
South Carolina overwhelmingly voted for the Democratic nominee, former U.S. Representative William Jennings Bryan, over the Republican nominee, Secretary of War William Howard Taft. Bryan won the state by a landslide margin of 87.9 points, even carrying Hampton County unanimously.
With 93.84% of the popular vote, South Carolina would be Bryan's strongest victory in terms of percentage in the popular vote. Although South Carolina was also Taft's weakest state, he had performed slightly better in the state than Theodore Roosevelt had four years prior.
Bryan had previously won the state twice against William McKinley in both 1896 and 1900.
