No Great Depression?

[??????????]

Could this have been the 1932 results with no Depression and a decent economy?

I am curious as to the voting history of Texas. Did they usually go with the solid south? How about the Upper South such as Missouri, Kentucky and Maryland?

Hoover would have been reelected in a landslide if their had been no Great Depresiion.



Hoover/Curtis: 472

Roosevelt/Gardner: 59

If there is no Depression there is no 20s "boom" on credit, right? SO there's never any President Hoover, either.
If there is a depression but no Great Depression the results might look a bit like on that map, but add MA and RI to the Dems - Smith won there too.
Also Florida, Oklahoma, some of the Western agricultural states (make your pick), but not MD, NJ and certainly not DE, which Hoover won in 32.

Smith only won there because he was an Irish catholic

Just as importantly, because he was an urban, Northeastern Democrat and an opponent of prohibition. Both of which also applies to FDR.

What was amazing about the 1924 election was that despite being beaten by the Republican by 2-1, the Democrats almost got an equal share of EV as they did as a percentage of the popular vote. If FDR had done only slightly better than Cox did in 24 he would have came close and could have perhaps won despite losing by lets say 40-55%.

That's only because Deep Southern turnout was at an all time low. There were very few states within easy reach for the Dems in 1924.

Exactly, that's why the Irish people in MA and RI voted for him.
