1932 United States presidential election in Texas
The 1932 United States presidential election in Texas took place on November 8, 1932, as part of the 1932 United States presidential election, which was held throughout all contemporary 48 states. Voters chose 23 representatives, or electors to the Electoral College, who voted for president and vice president.
Texas voted for the Democratic nominee, Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt of New York, over the Republican nominee, incumbent President Herbert Hoover of California. Roosevelt ran with Speaker of the House John Nance Garner, a Texas native while Hoover ran with incumbent Vice President Charles Curtis of Kansas.
Roosevelt defeated Hoover in the Lone Star State by a landslide margin of 76.71%. To date, this is the largest blowout victory by any major party presidential nominee in the state, and marks the only time following the GOP's creation that Gillespie County and Kendall County both failed to back their candidate.
With 88.06%, Texas would prove to be Roosevelt's fifth strongest state in popular vote percentage after South Carolina, Mississippi, Louisiana and Georgia., this is the last election in which Kendall County voted for a Democratic presidential candidate.Results
