The Republican ticket of the incumbent president William McKinley and the governor of New York Theodore Roosevelt defeated the Democratic ticket of the former U.S. representative from Nebraska's 1st congressional district William Jennings Bryan and the former vice president Adlai Stevenson I. McKinley defeated Bryan in the national election with 292 electoral votes.[2]
General election
[edit]Results
[edit]Indiana chose 15 electors in a statewide general election. State law required voters to elect each member of the Electoral College individually; under this system, electors nominated by the same party often received differing numbers of votes as a consequence of voter rolloff, split-ticket voting, or electoral fusion.[3] The following table quotes the official returns published by the secretary of state of Indiana, which list the votes for the first elector on each ticket.[4]
