Revision as of 05:25, 30 December 2019

The 1880 United States presidential election in Nevada took place on November 2, 1880, as part of the 1880 United States presidential election. Nevada voters chose three representatives, or electors, to the Electoral College, who voted for president and vice president.^[2]

Nevada was won by General Winfield Scott Hancock (D–Pennsylvania), running with former Representative William Hayden English, with 52.40 percent of the popular vote, against Representative James A. Garfield (R-Ohio), running with the 10th chairman of the New York State Republican Executive Committee Chester A. Arthur, with 47.60 percent of the vote.^[2] This was the first time Nevada voted for a Democratic presidential candidate, with Hancock’s victory being generally attributed to the fact that Garfield was viewed as weaker than Hancock on the hot-bed issue of controlling immigration from China – which both major parties promised to do and which the Nevada electorate was overwhelmingly in favor of.^[3]
