The 1900 United States presidential election in California took place on November 6, 1900, as part of the 1900 United States presidential election . State voters chose nine representatives, or electors, to the Electoral College , who voted for president and vice president .
California voted for the Republican nominee, President William McKinley , over the Democratic nominee, former U.S. Representative and 1896 Democratic presidential nominee William Jennings Bryan . McKinley won the state by a margin of 13.16% in this rematch of the 1896 presidential election . After a series of close elections in the state, this was the first time since 1872 that a candidate won California by double digits. The return of economic prosperity and recent victory in the Spanish–American War helped McKinley to score a decisive victory. McKinley flipped 15 counties, including Mendocino County , which to that point had never voted for a Republican candidate. This election was also the first time since 1872 that a Republican carried Amador County , Siskiyou County , and Tehama County .
Bryan had previous lost California to McKinley four years earlier and would later lose the state again in 1908 to William Howard Taft .
