what happened in this place?
1952 results:
Eisenhower: 92.97%
Stevenson: 7.03%
yet in 1952 Stevenson won Louisiana. In 1956 his numbers doubled, Eisenhower still got over 80% with the Dixiecrat slate of electors geting about 4%.
In 1948 Strom Thurmond won it with 93.62%.
Prior to that it was a pretty typical solid south county. Over 80% for FDR. So why did it swing so suddenly so quickly when the rest of the south and Louisiana didn't?
