What happened in Wisconsin, 1924

In 1924, Wisconsin awarded its 13 electoral votes to LaFollette of the Progressive party. Nationally the result broke the other way — Calvin Coolidge (Republican) won the presidency, leaving Wisconsin among the states he did not carry.

LaFollette's win closed out Wisconsin's 2-election run of voting Republican. It stood apart from its neighbors: Minnesota, Iowa, Illinois, and Michigan went the other way that year. Across the 45 presidential elections Wisconsin has taken part in, it has most often sided with the Republican party (24 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.
