The 1908 United States presidential election in Colorado took place on November 3, 1908, as part of the 1908 United States presidential election. Voters chose five representatives, or electors, to the Electoral College, who voted for president and vice president.
The 1908 Democratic National Convention was held in Denver between July 7 and 10.
Colorado was won by the Democratic nominee, former U.S. Representative William Jennings Bryan and his running mate John W. Kern. They defeated the Republican nominee, Secretary of War William Howard Taft and his running mate James S. Sherman. Bryan won the state by a narrow margin of 1.12%.
Bryan had previously won Colorado against William McKinley in both 1896 and 1900. Until 2016, this was the last presidential election where a Democrat carried Colorado without winning the presidency, and remains the last time that the state had backed a Democrat who lost the popular vote.
