Voters chose four representatives, or electors to the Electoral College, who voted for president and vice president. Vermont overwhelmingly voted for the Republican nominees, former governor of Ohio William McKinley and his running mate Garret Hobart of New Jersey. They defeated the Democratic and Populist nominees, former representative from Nebraska William Jennings Bryan and his running mate Arthur Sewall of Maine. With 80.08% of the popular vote, Vermont would be McKinley's strongest victory in the 1896 presidential election in terms of percentage in the popular vote, and remains the best performance of any presidential candidate in Vermont to date.https://uselectionatlas.org/RESULTS/stats.php?year=1896&f=1&off=0&elect=0 1896 Presidential Election Statistics Dave Leip’s Atlas of U.S. Presidential Elections 2018-03-05 McKinley won Vermont by a landslide margin of 63.42%, which is the second-best performance by the Republican Party in a state in any presidential election behind only Barry Goldwater in Mississippi in 1964 – ironically the first election when Vermont voted for a Democratic candidate.Historical U.S. Presidential Elections 1789-2020 - 270toWin https://www.270towin.com/historical-presidential-elections/ 2022-08-04 270toWin.com Bryan, running on a platform of free silver, appealed strongly to Western miners and farmers in the 1896 election, but had practically no appeal in the Northeastern state of Vermont. In fact, with only 16.66% of the popular vote Bryan's performance in Vermont was the second weakest of any Democratic presidential candidate to date only after John W. Davis' 15.67% in 1924. Bryan would lose Vermont to McKinley again four years later and would later lose the state again in 1908 to William Howard Taft.
