Alabama in 1892
The 1892 contest saw Alabama line up behind Cleveland, delivering 11 electoral votes to the Democratic ticket. That placed Alabama with the eventual winner: Grover Cleveland went on to take the presidency, and Alabama was part of his column.
Alabama stayed in the Democratic column for the 5th straight cycle, extending a run that began in 1876. Alabama did not move alone — neighboring Mississippi, Tennessee, Georgia, and Florida broke the same way in 1892. Over its 51 recorded presidential cycles, Alabama has backed the Democratic party more than any other — 30 times in all. The vote fell within the Gilded Age — Industrialization, narrow margins, and patronage politics.
Nationally, Grover Cleveland finished with 277 of the 444 electoral votes to Benjamin Harrison's 145. Grover Cleveland led the national popular vote with 46.02% of the ballots cast.
