1920
Reading the 1920 result in Oklahoma
Oklahoma backed Harding (Republican) in the 1920 presidential election, casting 10 electoral votes for the ticket. Oklahoma ended up on the winning side — Warren G. Harding captured the White House that year.
Harding's win closed out Oklahoma's 3-election run of voting Democratic. The region divided — Kansas, Missouri, New Mexico, and Colorado joined Oklahoma for the Republican ticket, while Arkansas and Texas did not. Across the 30 presidential elections Oklahoma has taken part in, it has most often sided with the Republican party (20 times). The vote fell within the Roaring Twenties — Republican dominance to the Great Depression.
In the national count, Warren G. Harding took 404 of the 531 electoral votes, against James M. Cox's 127. Warren G. Harding led the national popular vote with 60.32% of the ballots cast.
