The 2008 United States presidential election in Texas took place on November 4, 2008, and was part of the 2008 United States presidential election. Voters chose 34 representatives, or electors to the Electoral College, who voted for president and vice president. Texas was won by Republican nominee John McCain by an 11.8% margin of victory despite "failing to deliver written certification of their nominations" on time to appear on the ballot. Barack Obama, the Democratic nominee and eventual President, made a similar error. Prior to the election, all 17 news organizations considered this a state McCain would win, or otherwise a red state. Although the state is very diverse and has a huge Latino population, Latinos in Texas, despite being fairly Democratic, make up only 20% of the electorate. Polling throughout the state showed McCain consistently and substantially leading Obama. On Election Day, McCain won the state, although his margin was significantly less than that of George W. Bush in 2000 and 2004. This was the first election since 1996 in which the margin of victory was less than one million votes. Regardless, with its 34 electoral votes, Texas was the largest prize for McCain in 2008. This was the first time since 1924 that Texas gave a majority of the vote to a losing candidate. As of the 2020 presidential election, this is the last time the Democratic candidate won Brewster County and the last in which Kenedy County voted for the winning candidate.

No Texas, o candidato vitorioso foi o republicano John McCain que recebeu 12 % de votos a mais que o segundo colocado no estado, Barack Obama, do Partido Democrata. (pt) |
