The 1900 United States presidential election in Illinois took place on November 6, 1900. All contemporary 45 states were part of the
1900 United States presidential election. State voters chose 24 electors to the
Electoral College, which selected the
president and
vice president.
Illinois was won by the
Republican nominees, incumbent President
William McKinley of
Ohio and his running mate
Theodore Roosevelt of
New York. They defeated the
Democratic nominees, former
U.S. Representative and 1896 Democratic presidential nominee
William Jennings Bryan and his running mate, former
Vice President
Adlai Stevenson I. McKinley won the state by a margin of 8.39% in this rematch of the
1896 presidential election. The return of economic prosperity and recent victory in the
Spanish–American War helped McKinley to score a decisive victory.
Illinois was the
tipping-point-state in the 1900 presidential election.
Bryan had previous lost Illinois to McKinley
four years earlier and would later lose the state again in
1908 to
William Howard Taft.
