Someone in central Ohio, Indiana or Schohaire County, NY. The 1920s is when the ancestral copperheads started voting Republican and never looked back.

German voter who typically voted Democrat but switched after World War I. They would never vote for a Democrat at the national level again until LBJ if they were still alive at that time.

That or they just wouldn't vote for any Democrat that had served in Wilson's administration and been James Cox's runningmate.

New Hampshire voted that way (though it was extremely close both times).

There were 55 counties, according to Menendez's Geography of Presidential Elections, that voted for Wilson in 1916 and Hoover in 1932. Among these counties were El Paso County, Colorado (Colorado Springs), Hartford County, Connecticut (Hartford), New Haven County, Connecticut (New Haven), Kalamazoo County, Michigan (Kalamazoo), Kent County, Michigan (Grand Rapids), Hamilton County, Ohio (Columbus), Lancaster County, Nebraska (Lincoln), Mahoning County, Ohio (Youngstown), and Stark County, Ohio (Canton).

Hartford was one of the 15, out of the 106 largest cities in the country at the time, that Hoover carried. Roosevelt did not gain as much ground in urban America that year over Smith as he did in rural and small-town America. 1936 was when the New Deal Coalition truly took shape in the cities, with the collapse of the Republican machine in Philadelphia and the shift of the black vote to Democrats.

Wilson won New Hampshire by only 56 votes in 1916, which is the third-closest state race on record, in terms of presidential margin. Hoover won New Hampshire in 1932 by 2,949 votes. Wilson was able to narrowly capture the state by winning Sullivan County (which Roosevelt lost), and by outperforming Roosevelt in all of the other counties (especially Carroll County), although Roosevelt did better in Hillsborough County.
