1892
Reading the 1892 result in Oregon
Oregon backed Harrison (Republican) in the 1892 presidential election, casting 4 electoral votes for the ticket. The presidency went elsewhere: Grover Cleveland (Democratic) won nationally, while Oregon had backed a different ticket.
Oregon stayed in the Republican column for the 3rd straight cycle, extending a run that began in 1884. The region divided — Washington joined Oregon for the Republican ticket, while Idaho, Nevada, and California did not. Over its 42 recorded presidential cycles, Oregon has backed the Republican party more than any other — 23 times in all. The vote fell within the Gilded Age — Industrialization, narrow margins, and patronage politics.
Nationally, Grover Cleveland finished with 277 of the 444 electoral votes to Benjamin Harrison's 145. Grover Cleveland led the national popular vote with 46.02% of the ballots cast.
