The 1900 United States presidential election in West Virginia took place on November 6, 1900. All contemporary 45 states were part of the 1900 United States presidential election. Voters chose six electors to the Electoral College, which selected the president and vice president.
West Virginia was won by the Republican nominees, incumbent President William McKinley of Ohio and his running mate Theodore Roosevelt of New York. They defeated the Democratic nominees, former U.S. Representative and 1896 Democratic presidential nominee William Jennings Bryan and his running mate, former Vice President Adlai Stevenson I. McKinley won the state by a margin of 9.52% in this rematch of the 1896 presidential election. The return of economic prosperity and recent victory in the Spanish–American War helped McKinley to score a decisive victory.
Bryan had previously lost West Virginia to McKinley four years earlier and would later lose it again in 1908 to William Howard Taft. McKinley was the last Republican until George W. Bush in 2004 to carry West Virginia twice.
