Notes

[edit]
  1. ^ The Wyoming Blue Book, Volume II lists Esperson as having been a Populist or Prohibitionist, but this makes no sense. Esperson's votes match those of Wood and Cook exactly except for one precinct in Sheridan County; this almost certainly indicates that his votes were on the same ticket as those of Wood and Cook. Moreover, Esperson was on the Socialist ticket as a presidential elector in 1904. Thus, there was no Populist or Prohibition vote in Wyoming in 1900.
  2. ^ Based on totals for highest elector on each ticket
  3. ^ Based on highest elector on each ticket
  4. ^ These votes are not listed in the statewide summary; they can be found in the precinct detail for Sheridan County on pg. 59 of the source.
