The 1912 United States presidential election in Wyoming took place on November 5, 1912, as part of the 1912 United States presidential election. State voters chose three representatives, or electors, to the Electoral College, who voted for president and vice president.
Wyoming was won by Princeton University President Woodrow Wilson ( D– Virginia), running with governor of Indiana Thomas R. Marshall, with 36.20 percent of the popular vote, against the 27th president of the United States William Howard Taft ( R– Ohio), running with Columbia University President Nicholas Murray Butler, with 34.42 percent of the popular vote, the 26th president of the United States Theodore Roosevelt ( P– New York), running with governor of California Hiram Johnson, with 21.83 percent of the popular vote and the five-time candidate of the Socialist Party of America for President of the United States Eugene V.
