In 1928 Alabama was won by Smith by a margin of less than 3%, similar to Bush's in Ohio 2 years ago. Why was that? I know Hoover did well in the South, but in other Deep South states Democratic support held up. SMith broke 90% in South Carolina, 80% in Mississippi and 70% in Louisiana. In Georgia he recieved 56% of the vote, worse, but still a large margin. Why did these states differ so much?
