Barack Obama did not qualify for any electoral votes from Texas at the 2008 US Presidential election. Texas, like most states, awards all of its electoral votes using state-wide multiple-winner plurality voting (first past the post; the candidate with the most popular votes also wins all the electoral votes). John McCain beat Obama by a margin of 11.8 percentage points, taking 55.4% of the vote against Obama's 43.6%, thus winning all 34 electoral votes.

If Texas had allocated most of its electoral votes on a congressional district basis, as Nebraska does, the split would have been McCain 24 - Obama 10. If electoral votes were awarded proportionally for the whole state, the split would have been McCain 19 - Obama 15.

Texas had 34 electoral votes in 2008. These went to John McCain, Republican.

Since there was no new census until 2010 (the preceding one was in 2000), Texas had the same number of electoral votes in 2008 as it did in 2004. Texas is to increase to 38 electoral votes in 2012.
