The 1904 United States presidential election in Nevada took place on November 8, 1904, as part of the 1904 United States presidential election . Voters chose three representatives, or electors to the Electoral College , who voted for president and vice president .
Nevada was won by the Republican ticket of incumbent President Theodore Roosevelt of New York and his running mate Senator Charles W. Fairbanks of Indiana . They defeated the Democratic nominees, former Chief Judge of New York Court of Appeals Alton B. Parker and his running mate, former US Senator Henry G. Davis of West Virginia .
Roosevelt and Fairbanks would win the state by a margin of 23.79%,[1] roughly mirroring the results of the national popular vote. After the state had voted overwhelmingly for James B. Weaver and William Jennings Bryan during the three previous elections , Roosevelt claimed the state for the Republican Party for the only time between 1888 and 1920 .
Roosevelt won every county in the state, becoming the first Republican presidential candidate to do so; this has since only been repeated by Richard Nixon in 1972 , Ronald Reagan in 1980 and 1984 , and George H.W. Bush in 1988 .
Following this election, Nevada would eventually become a bellwether that has reflected the result in 26 of the 29 presidential elections since (the exceptions were in 1908 , 1976 and 2016 ).
