Tennessee was more democratic than the nation in 1984.

Every election from 1952-1984 had at least a 5% median trend. No election since has more than 4.5%.

1996 was the last election Democrats would win the majority of votes cast in the south.

In 1892, Democrats got 0% of the vote in Colorado. In 1896, they got 85%, the single biggest shift in presidential election, better even than in much of the deep south. Not only that, but this was in the course of an election that went from a democratic three point win to a republican five.

The election of 1880 had the slimmest popular vote margin, a mere 1898 votes.

If slaves were not counted in apportioment, Adams would have won 1800 despite losing the popular vote by 22.8 points.
