South Dakota was won by Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt (D–New York), running with Speaker John Nance Garner, with 63.62 percent of the popular vote, against incumbent President Herbert Hoover (R–California), running with Vice President Charles Curtis, with 34.40 percent of the popular vote.[3]
As a result of his win in the state, Roosevelt became only the second Democratic presidential candidate to win South Dakota as well as the first one since William Jennings Bryan in 1896 to win the state.
This is the only occasion since South Dakota’s statehood when Campbell County, Hutchinson County, Sully County and Turner County have voted for a Democratic Presidential candidate,[4] and the last occasion when Butte County and McPherson County have done so.[5]
