South Dakota voted for the Republican nominee, Supreme Court Justice Charles Evans Hughes of New York , over the Democratic nominee, incumbent President Woodrow Wilson of New Jersey . Hughes won South Dakota by a close margin of 3.90%; however, alongside Oregon , South Dakota was the only state that Hughes won in the Great Plains or westward.
Hughes’ victory was largely due to the powerful GOP loyalty of East River German-Americans , who feared that Wilson's pro-British and pro-French sentiments would lead the United States to involve itself in war with Germany .[1] West River counties strongly supported Wilson's Southern roots and prohibitionist leanings.[2] William Jennings Bryan won the state in a fusion with the Populist Party two decades before , and would be beaten only six times in the ensuing century.
As of the 2020 presidential election [update] , this is the last election that Lawrence County voted for the Democratic presidential candidate, and the last election that South Dakota voted for a different presidential candidate than neighboring North Dakota .[3] [4]
