The 1928 United States presidential election in California took place on November 6, 1928, as part of the 1928 United States presidential election . State voters chose 13 representatives, or electors, to the Electoral College , who voted for president and vice president .
California voted for the Republican nominee, former Commerce Secretary Herbert Hoover , in a landslide over the Democratic nominee, New York Governor Al Smith . This was also the first election in California where the winning candidate received over 1 million votes. This also remains the last time that a Republican got more than 60% of the vote in California.
This was the last time until 1952 that a Republican presidential nominee carried California.
