1900 - Actual Fact (and, where mentioned, E.P.P.) Notes
**1 = William McKinley was the actual fact winner of the 1900 election. He lost to William
Jennings Bryan in the E.P.P. reality by 2,302 points, while Bryan went over the E.P.P.
need-to-win mark of 72,510 by a mere 948 points.
**2 = William Jennings Bryan's winning in the Electoral Points reality is due to this actual
fact -- The "Solid South", being those states that were part of the Confederacy from
1861 to 1865, voted almost solidly for Democratic Party candidates, especially those
running for President as well as both houses of Congress, from the 1860's to the
early 1970's.
In three Southern states -- Louisiana, Mississippi and South Carolina -- Bryan had
winning popular vote shares of 79.03%, 87.56% and 92.96% respectively. However,
because McKinley had gained well over 5.00% of the popular vote in all three states,
and because of the E.P.P. 75% Limit Rule, 1,303 Electoral Points that could have gone
to Bryan instead went to McKinley.
Also note a situation in Texas that is not shown in the results above. The People's
Party Candidate, Wharton Barker, earned 4.95% of the Texas popular vote, 0.05% short
of the 5.00% minimum required to earn Electoral Points. However, even if Barker had
managed to get to the 5.00% mark, that would not have come anywhere close to changing
the final outcome of the E.P.P. reality.
Beyond Texas, Barker got 3.75% of the popular vote in Georgia, and got better than
2.00% in three other states. He finished fifth in the overall national polls with
a total of 50,847 popular votes.
**3 = John Woolley, the Prohibition Party candidate, cracked the 5.00% popular vote minimum
only once, getting 5.66% in Florida, which was worth 296 Electoral Points. Woolley's
next best performance came in Oregon, where 3.05% of the voters went for him. Two
states -- Minnesota and Rhode Island -- each gave Woolley 2.70% of their votes.
Woolley gained better than 2.00% of the popular vote in six other states.
**4 = Eugene Debs, the Socialist Party candidate, ran for the first time in 1900. He would
not be a factor in this election, but would go on to run for President in 1904, 1908,
1912 (where he had his best E.P.P. showing, despite finishing 4th) and 1920.
