Oklahoma in 1924

The 1924 contest saw Oklahoma 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 Oklahoma among the states he did not carry.

The result flipped Oklahoma away from the Republican it had supported in 1920. The region divided — Missouri, Arkansas, and Texas joined Oklahoma for the Democratic ticket, while Kansas, New Mexico, and Colorado did not. Across the 30 presidential elections Oklahoma has taken part in, it has most often sided with the Republican party (20 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.
