How did most Racist white southerners vote in every election?

Here are my thoughts
1856: Buchanan
1860: Breckinridge
1868-1924 Democratic candidate
1928 ?
1932-1944 FDR
1948 Thurmond
1952 ?
1956 ?
1960 ?
1964 Goldwater
1968 Wallace
1972 Nixon
1976 ?
I think we all know who won them after.

Truman probably won that “bloc” in 48 since he carried more southern states than Thurmond. Eisenhower and Stevenson probably split it and Kennedy probably narrowly won it. After Wallace in 68, this bloc is securely Republican with the exception of a fairly close result against Carter in 76 and a few minor flirtations with Clinton in 92 & 96

FYI : Carter did much much better in the rural south than he did in the suburban south and did very well in Wallace 68 counties

1968:

1980:

It is very intriguing to this day for me how much on a county level Wallace utterly decimated Humphrey and Nixon in the south.  If he picked up even two or three more southern states, he probably would have actually won more counties nationwide than Humphrey did, a feat he already came extremely close to doing

Wallace was simply a perfect fit for the South, as he was the “true Democrat” on the ballot for the “racist white southern” bloc which was probably the majority back then lol
