Bush Republican Party (United States) George W. Bush Republican Party (United States) The 2004 United States presidential election in Texas took place on November 2, 2004, and was part of the 2004 United States presidential election. State voters chose 34 representatives, or electors, to the Electoral College, who voted for president and vice president. Texas was won by incumbent Republican President George W. Bush by a margin of 22.87%. Prior to the election, all 12 major U.S. news organizations expected Texas to vote for Bush, considering it to be a safe red state. Texas has not voted for a Democratic presidential nominee since 1976, and has been a Republican stronghold since the 1980s. A former governor of the state, Bush's performance stands as a high-water mark for Republican presidential candidates in Texas, and remains the last time that a Republican has won more than 60% of the state's vote, or that a Democrat has won less than 40%. The 1,067,968 ballots cast in Harris County also marked the first time that any Texas county would cast more than one million votes. This is also the most recent election in which the Republican candidate would win Tarrant County with at least 60% of the vote, as of the 2024 election.

Economically and racially diverse, Texas includes a huge swath of the Bible Belt where many voters, especially those in rural Texas, identify as born-again or evangelical Christians and therefore tend to vote Republican due to the party's opposition to abortion. Although once part of the Solid South, the last time Texas voted for a Democratic presidential nominee was Jimmy Carter in 1976.web https://www.latimes.com/politics/story/2023-12-07/much-of-the-west-has-turned-blue-heres-why-texas-is-an-exception Column: In two decades, much of the West has turned blue. Why hasn't Texas? Mark Z. Barabak December 7, 2023 Los Angeles Times George Bush achieved his party's best result in Texas since Ronald Reagan's second landslide in 1984. President Bush carried 236 of the state's 254 counties, improving on his performance from 2000. East Texas, historically the most Democratic region in the state, solidified its support for the Republican Party with only Jefferson County, home to Beaumont, voting for John Kerry. South Texas, while still voting heavily for Senator Kerry, swung towards Bush as well. Despite Bush's increased margin in the state compared to 2000, Kerry made major inroads in the state's suburban areas, especially in Metro Houston, the Dallas Fort Worth Metroplex, and the Austin area. Kerry narrowed Bush's 2000 margins in Collin, Dallas, Denton, Fort Bend, Harris, Hays, Travis, and Williamson Counties. Out of those, however, only Travis County, home to Austin, flipped into the Democratic column, in part due to the city's strong liberal leanings and opposition to the Iraq War. Bush had won a plurality in the county in 2000 in part due to the Green Party's Ralph Nader winning 11% of the county's vote. Although Bush carried Dallas County by a narrow margin of 1.40%, the city of Dallas' urban core voted heavily for Kerry, giving him 58% of the vote.Dallas County Elections Department – Dallas County Elections – Your trusted source for voting information, resources, and updates.

Texas is allocated 34 electors because it has 32 congressional districts and two senators. All candidates who appear on the ballot or qualify to receive write-in votes must submit a list of 34 electors, who pledge to vote for their candidate and his or her running mate. Whoever wins the majority of votes in the state is awarded all 34 electoral votes. Their chosen electors then vote for president and vice president. Although electors are pledged to their candidate and running mate, they are not obligated to vote for them. An elector who votes for someone other than his or her candidate is known as a faithless elector. The electors of each state and the District of Columbia met on December 13, 2004, to cast their votes for president and vice president. The Electoral College itself never meets as one body. Instead, the electors from each state and the District of Columbia met in their respective capitols. The following were the members of the Electoral College from the state. All 34 were pledged to Bush/Cheney:https://www.archives.gov/federal_register/electoral_college/2004_certificates/ascertainment_texas.html The Electoral College 20 May 2019http://www.sos.state.tx.us/elections/forms/candidates/rep.pdf Archived copy 2009-11-29 https://web.archive.org/web/20090325185210/http://www.sos.state.tx.us/elections/forms/candidates/rep.pdf 2009-03-25 dead Royce Hayes Tom Cotter Jay Pierce Marjorie Chandler Lance Lenz Barbara Grusendorf Bill Borden Jim Wiggins Anna Rice Jan Galbraith Sue Brannon Cheryl Surber Mike Ussery Sid Young Frank Morris Roger O'Dell Christopher DeCluitt Martha Greenlaw Marcus Anderson Mike Provost Bennie Bock Kathy Haigler Kim Hesley Peter Wrench Morris Woods Rhealyn Samuelson Nancy Stevens Loyce McCarter Larry Bowles Dan Mosher Glenn Warren Kristina Kiik Susan Weddington Charles Burchett See also United States presidential elections in Texas Presidency of George W.
