What happened in Mississippi, 1904

In 1904, Mississippi awarded its 10 electoral votes to Parker of the Democratic party. Nationally the result broke the other way — Theodore Roosevelt (Republican) won the presidency, leaving Mississippi among the states he did not carry.

It marked the 8th consecutive election in which Mississippi backed the Democratic party, a streak reaching back to 1876. Mississippi did not move alone — neighboring Louisiana, Arkansas, Tennessee, and Alabama broke the same way in 1904. Across the 51 presidential elections Mississippi has taken part in, it has most often sided with the Democratic party (30 times). The vote fell within the Progressive Era — Trust-busting, suffrage, and World War I.

In the national count, Theodore Roosevelt took 336 of the 476 electoral votes, against Alton B. Parker's 140. Theodore Roosevelt led the national popular vote with 56.42% of the ballots cast.
