Data below shows how Texans voted in presidential elections since being admitted to the Union in 1845. The first election after becoming a state was three years later, in 1848.
In 1861, Texas seceded from the United States and joined the Confederate States of America. Texas was readmitted to the Union in 1870 during Reconstruction and voted in the next election in 1872.
