Mississippi in 1924

The 1924 contest saw Mississippi line up behind Davis, delivering 10 electoral votes to the Democratic ticket. Nationally the result broke the other way — Calvin Coolidge (Republican) won the presidency, leaving Mississippi among the states he did not carry.

It marked the 13th consecutive election in which Mississippi backed the Democratic party, a streak reaching back to 1876. Mississippi did not move alone — neighboring Louisiana, Arkansas, Tennessee, and Alabama broke the same way in 1924. Across the 51 presidential elections Mississippi has taken part in, it has most often sided with the Democratic party (30 times). The vote fell within the Roaring Twenties — Republican dominance to the Great Depression.

In the national count, Calvin Coolidge took 382 of the 531 electoral votes, against John W. Davis's 136. Calvin Coolidge led the national popular vote with 54.04% of the ballots cast.
