1892 United States presidential election in Mississippi

The 1892 United States presidential election in Mississippi took place on November 8, 1892. All contemporary 44 states were part of the 1892 United States presidential election. Mississippi voters chose nine electors to the Electoral College, which selected the president and vice president.

This election arguably marked the end of Reconstruction in Mississippi, with voter turnout plunging by over half following the introduction of poll taxes in the state two years prior.

Mississippi was won by the Democratic nominees, former President Grover Cleveland of New York and his running mate Adlai Stevenson I of Illinois. However, Weaver performed well in the South as he won counties in Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi, North Carolina, and Texas. Weaver's win in Chickasaw County was the last time a Democrat lost any county in Mississippi in a statewide election until Herbert Hoover won the Pine Belt counties of Pearl River, Stone and George in 1928.Menendez; Albert J.; The Geography of Presidential Elections in the United States, 1868-2004, pp. 233-236
