1924
What happened in New York, 1924
In 1924, New York awarded its 45 electoral votes to Coolidge of the Republican party. That placed New York with the eventual winner: Calvin Coolidge went on to take the presidency, and New York was part of his column.
New York stayed in the Republican column for the 3rd straight cycle, extending a run that began in 1916. New York did not move alone — neighboring Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Vermont broke the same way in 1924. Over its 60 recorded presidential cycles, New York has backed the Democratic party more than any other — 29 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.
