For someone to have been eligible to vote for Coolidge in 1924 they would have had to be born in 1903 meaning they would be 113 in 2016 and there seems to be only 6 people from this list who qualify. So yah the answer is this very much could be impossible.

I guess it's possible that a few more may have been around to vote for him in one of his congressional bids though.

Would be interesting to speculate based on demographic and socioeconomic factors how they've voted.

This applies for one of his Congressional runs:

An Old School Republican who became disgusted with the GOP's stance on social issues sometime during the Reagan era and didn't see Sander's economics as being as big of a problem.

Likely a single issue voter on some issue Congressional Sanders differed with their GOP opponent, who has kept this view for at least 60 years. My guess, Trade, New England was pretty Protectionist in the early 20th century, so I assume this voter was a single issue anti-Free Trade Voter in Vermont.

I was thinking that civil rights made more sense than protectionism but I can see it both ways.

I can see the reasoning for that. I just don't think civil rights was that major of an issue in 1924 and one of Sanders' congressional races to have a likely single-issue voter over that. I think trade is an issue that overlaps better with both of the candidates and their eras.

Especially since Coolidge was not exactly great on civil rights and outright terrible (from my perspective) on immigration.

Assuming this just means he stayed alive to vote for Sanders in the Burlington mayoral election and Congressman, an old timer Yankee Republican who felt strongly about some of the local issues such as water front redevelopment and ended up sticking with him because he found Sanders to be honest and straightforward.

Alternately, if we include his 1974 run, just a liberal Yankee Republican is possible.
