1) For the longest time, much of Delaware has served as SE Pennsylvania extension. With the exception of 1968, both states tracked identically since 1912--and this continued all the way until 2016.
2) Pennsylvania in 1932 was the Republican version of Texas. It did vote for Hoover, but the percentage spread from 1928 to 1932 dropped from 32 to 5.
3) Hoover was fairly strong in the Northeast in 1932 (his vote decline in the rest of the country was dramatic), and he did carry much of Philadephia and suburbs--providing the margin to win Pennsylvania that year.
