State voters chose three representatives, or electors, to the Electoral College, who voted for president and vice president. In 1912, Wyoming had been the eighth-best state for embattled Republican nominee William Howard Taft.Dave Leip's U.S. Election Atlas; 1912 Presidential General Election Data – National by State: Sorted by Vote Percentage for Taft However, in contrast to the East where supporters of Theodore Roosevelt's Progressive "Bull Moose" Party rapidly returned to the Republicans, in the Mountain States many if not most of these supporters turned to the Democratic Party not only in presidential elections, but also in state and federal legislative ones.Sarasohn David The Election of 1916: Realigning the Rockies The Western Historical Quarterly 1980 11 3 285–305 10.2307/967564 967564 https://www.jstor.org/stable/967564 26 July 2024 0043-3810 subscription Another factor helping President Woodrow Wilson was a powerful "peace vote" in the Western statesMenendez Albert J.

Consequently, Wilson was able not merely to hold Wyoming from 1912, but to increase his margin by over ten percentage points to carry the state by 12.87 percent. This is the third best Democratic performance in the history of presidential elections in Wyoming, behind Franklin Delano Roosevelt's landslide wins in 1932 and 1936.Dave Leip's U.S. Election Atlas; Presidential General Election Results Comparison – Wyoming Wilson became the first Democratic presidential candidate to carry the counties of Carbon, Converse, Lincoln, Natrona, Niobrara, and Washakie.Menendez; The Geography of Presidential Elections in the United States, pp. 342-343 2024 11 As of the 2024 presidential election, this election is the last time Wyoming has voted more Democratic than the nation at-large.
