Colorado voted for the Republican nominee, James G. Blaine, over the Democratic nominee, Grover Cleveland. Blaine won the state by a margin of 12.57 points. In its earliest years as a state Colorado was like the Plains States to its east solidly Republican, with that party continuously controlling the legislature and holding the governorship for five of seven terms.
