Reading the 1904 result in New Jersey

New Jersey backed Roosevelt (Republican) in the 1904 presidential election, casting 12 electoral votes for the ticket. New Jersey ended up on the winning side — Theodore Roosevelt captured the White House that year.

It marked the 3rd consecutive election in which New Jersey backed the Republican party, a streak reaching back to 1896. New Jersey did not move alone — neighboring New York, Pennsylvania, and Delaware broke the same way in 1904. Across the 60 presidential elections New Jersey has taken part in, it has most often sided with the Democratic party (31 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.
