That’s more likely than a White person with Unionist views?

Someone with a federal patronage job courtesy of a Republican administration. (Although the spoils system was mostly dead by this point, some jobs, such as postmasters, were still linked to patronage.)

A black person who was sufficiently mixed race to be "white passing".

Those 1932 and 1936 Roosevelt totals look like Kim Jong Un numbers.

That’s because elections in 1930’s South Carolina were barely more free and “fair” then elections in North Korea today.

Jim Crow discriminated against poor whites as well as blacks. Only the planter aristocracy was allowed to vote in that era.

Black people voted overwhelmingly for Roosevelt in 1936 so I don’t think even that would explain it. Probably just a few voters going against the grain.

Yes, but Black people weren't nearly as Democrat as South Carolina Whites back then.
