What US election was the first you consider democratic?

[Oswald Acted Alone, You Kook]

1824, because it was the first with PV, and Jackson, the first president that could be called a "man of the people", had his rightful victory stolen by another rich guy.

By the way, could you give a reason behind the other poll options?

1920 when the Nineteenth Amendment granted women the right to vote.

May 21, 1919 passed U.S. House of Representatives 304 for to 89 against

Republicans 200 for, 19 against  Republicans 91% for, 9% against
Democrats 102 for, 69 against  Democrats 60% for, 40% against
Union Labor 1 for, 0 against
Prohibitionist 1 for, 0 against

June 4, 1919 passed U.S. Senate 56 for to 25 against

Republicans 36 for, 8 against  Republicans 82% for, 18% against
Democrats 20 for, 17 against  Democrats 54% for, 46% against

It is clear from these numbers that it was the Republicans who were at the forefront of granting women the right to vote, while it was the Democrats who were reluctant to do so and were dragging their feet on this issue.

It was much the same situation with the Thirteenth Amendment, abolishing slavery, where it was the Republicans who were at the forefront of this amendment to abolish slavery and it was the Democrats who were reluctant to abolish slavery and who were dragging their feet on the issue of abolishing slavery.

But 40 years later they did a 180 and switched sides.

What's the reasoning behind each of the poll options? (Besides 1789, 1920, and 1968)

1824 had popular elections in the majority of states to pick the Electoral College rather than state legislatures selecting them, 1868 had universal male suffrage and every single state picked by popular votes (South Carolina held out until the Civil War), 1880 was the first election after Reconstruction and the end of the military occupation of parts of the South, 1972 was the first election with 18 year olds, I forget the logic for the others.
