1924
Reading the 1924 result in Alabama
Alabama backed Davis (Democratic) in the 1924 presidential election, casting 12 electoral votes for the ticket. The presidency went elsewhere: Calvin Coolidge (Republican) won nationally, while Alabama had backed a different ticket.
Alabama stayed in the Democratic column for the 13th 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 1924. 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 Roaring Twenties — Republican dominance to the Great Depression.
Nationally, Calvin Coolidge finished with 382 of the 531 electoral votes to John W. Davis's 136. Calvin Coolidge led the national popular vote with 54.04% of the ballots cast.
