Voters chose three electors to represent them in the Electoral College, which voted for President and Vice President. This was the first presidential election in which New Mexico participated, having been admitted to the union as the 47th state on January 6, 1912. During the period between New Mexico's annexation by the United States and statehood, the area was divided between largely Republican machine-run highland regions and its firmly Southern Democrat and Baptist "Little Texas" region to the southeast.Chilton, Lance; New Mexico: A Guide to the Colorful State, p. 95 0826307329 Running for reelection against the reformist policies of Wilson was William H. Taft, who secured the Republican nomination over Theodore Roosevelt. To counter not receiving the Republican nomination, Roosevelt then ran for president under his own Bull-Moose Party. New Mexico is indicative of this critical split in the industrialist Republican Party, because Wilson was able to attain victory, both in the State and nationally, with about 40% of the vote, due to a split in the "Old Guard" of highland Republicanism.Hodgson, Illa D. and Garthwaite, Eloyse M.; 'New Mexico's Early Elections: Statehood to New Deal'; New Mexico Historical Review, January 1, 1995; vol. 70, issue 1, pp. 29-46 New Mexico was won by New Jersey Governor Woodrow Wilson, in what was perhaps the most politically diverse election in United States history.https://uselectionatlas.org/RESULTS/state.php?year=1912&fips=35&f=1&off=0&elect=0 1912 Presidential General Election Results – New Mexico Dave Leip's Atlas of U.S. Presidential Elections 2018-03-05 Nonetheless, New Mexico was still Taft's fourth-strongest state by vote percentage after Utah, New Hampshire and Vermont,https://uselectionatlas.org/RESULTS/stats.php?year=1912&f=1&off=0&elect=0 1912 Presidential Election Statistics Dave Leip’s Atlas of U.S. Presidential Elections 2018-03-05 reflecting the strong Hispanic machine loyalties to him in the northern highlands.Menendez, Albert J.; The Geography of Presidential Elections in the United States, 1868-2004, p. 42 0786422173 The Socialist Party of America had its best year on record under Socialist Party star Eugene V. Debs, who garnered almost six percent of the electorate in New Mexico, and nationally. Debs ran ahead of Taft in Curry, Eddy and Roosevelt counties.
