To vote in 2008, this person has to be AT LEAST 105 by 2008. Also, I highly doubt you're going to find more than a handful of people nationwide who voted Wallace 68/McGovern 72.

[Chunk Yogurt for President!]

There was at least one person who voted in every election from 1920 to 2012.  She voted Republican every time.

Who was that?
Also that takes serious dedication considering how radically the GOP has changed over the years.

Obviously that's a very small group, but still there must have been at least ~500 or so,  I would think.

Not really.  Most people aren't political nerds and vote for tribal reasons a lot of the time.  Imagine some dude whose dad owned his own business and he took it over.  He could easily get by voting for "the party that's best for my business/livelihood" every one of those elections with a GOP vote.

That's basically what I was saying. Despite the drastic differences between, say, Warren Harding and George W. Bush, she still voted Republican in literally every election.

[CatoMinor]

A white male from Chicago who died fighting in WWII whose vote became reliably Democratic afterwards, except for '68 when someone using his name accidentally marked the wrong box after a long day of voting.

Well considering the GOP was more right wing in the 1920s than at anytime in its history I wouldn’t say that .


Calvin Coolidge and Warren Harding are probably the two most conservative US presidents in the past 150 years

I can't find the information unfortunately.  But I know I read it somewhere.

While both parties have done a lot of changing, I don't see what Obama in 2012 really had to offer to someone who was a loyal Republican in the midst of the Great Depression.  Old people also tend to be very conservative.  I think it's much more likely that a 1920s Democrat would vote Republican today than a 1920s Republican voting Democrat today.

For the record, I knew someone who was a Landon '36 (I think she met Alf, she at least knew his wife) Bush '04 voter who died shortly before the 2008 election.

The GOP has changed in a lot of ways since then, not just moving in a more right-wing direction.

Yah sure but really the only Republicans from that time who would be Democrats today and during the Bush years are African-Americans and Maybe Anti War Voters(But its likely they are Libertarian).

If you are talking about Social Issues the National Republican Party had already become pretty right wing by then.

- They strongly supported Prohibition

- They supported the 1924 Immigration Act (Which restricted Immigration even more than what Trump/Cotton proposed and today there is a large sect of  Republican politicians who opposed Trump/Cotton proposal while the same was not true for the 1924 one)

- They were anti international organizations

- They ran campaigns dog whistling to anti-catholic voters(1928 one)

- Even on Civil Rights, by the 1920s they became very reluctant to put those Pro-Civil Rights Beliefs into Actions

[The Mikado]

I don't really think that someone who voted straight ticket Republican in the 1920s voting straight ticket Republican in the 2000s is that surprising. States in the Great Plains have been consistently Republican for 150 years outside of flirting with Bryan in the 1890s, and even when Roosevelt won them it was by a narrow margin. A voter in Kansas or Nebraska voting Republican forever is far less surprising than a voter of that description voting Democrat.

Look at Alf Landon voting Republican for his entire life through the 1980s and his daughter (born 1932) being a GOP Senator until 1997 and still being a loyal Republican today.

EDIT: LOL: Kansas has voted Republican all but 6 elections since it became a state in the 1860s, and one of those times was third party for Wheeler in 1892.

A black person who screwed up their '68 vote.

They all lived in South Boston.
