The 2004 United States presidential election took place on November 2, 2004 throughout all 50 states and D.C., which was part of the 2004 United States presidential election. Voters chose 5 representatives, or electors to the Electoral College, who voted for President and Vice President.
Nevada was won by incumbent President George W. Bush by a 2.6% margin of victory. Prior to the election, news organizations who made predictions were split on who would win the state, with half saying it leaned Bush, or a red state and the others who implied it as a swing state. Only one county of the state, Clark County, home of Las Vegas and the most populous county of the state, went for John F. Kerry. Kerry's second best performance in the state was Washoe County, which he lost with 47% of the vote. Moreover, the statewide results here were very similar to the nationwide results in 2004, making it the bellwether of the country. Also, Nevada has voted for the winner of every presidential election since 1912, except for 1976 & 2016 . Third party and independents made up over 1% of the vote, led by Ralph Nader. As of 2016, this is the last time that Nevada was carried by the Republican nominee, and also the last time Washoe County voted Republican.
