1892 United States Presidential Election In Florida
The 1892 United States presidential election in Florida took place on November 8, 1892. All contemporary 44 states were part of the 1892 United States presidential election. Florida voters chose four electors to the Electoral College, which selected the president and vice president. This election marks the end of Reconstruction and the beginning of Jim Crow-era politics in Florida. This change had been proposed as early as 1884, but the anti-Southern animus of the Harrison regime meant that Florida's large landowners felt the disfranchisement of blacks had become urgent. A poll tax was introduced in 1889 as were the so-called “Myers” and “Dortch” laws which required voters in more populous settlements to register their voting precincts. This dramatically cut voter registration amongst blacks and poorer whites, almost halving the number of votes cast. Since Florida completely lacked upland or German refugee whites opposed to secession, its Republican Party between 1872 ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
1892 United States Presidential Election
The 1892 United States presidential election was the 27th quadrennial presidential election, held on Tuesday, November 8, 1892. In a rematch of the closely contested 1888 presidential election, former Democratic President Grover Cleveland defeated incumbent Republican President Benjamin Harrison. Cleveland's victory made him the first and, to date, the only person in American history to be elected to a non-consecutive second presidential term. It was also the first time incumbents were defeated in consecutive elections—the second being Jimmy Carter's defeat of Gerald Ford in 1976, followed by Carter's subsequent loss to Ronald Reagan in 1980. Additionally, Harrison's loss marked the second time an elected president lost the popular vote twice, the first being John Quincy Adams in the 1820s. This feat was not repeated until Donald Trump lost the popular vote in 2016 and 2020. Though some Republicans opposed Harrison's re-nomination, Harrison defeated James G. Blaine and Wil ...

His father, Alphonso Taft, was a U.S. attorney general and secretary of war. Taft attended Yale and joined the Skull and Bones, of which his father was a founding member.

1892 United States Presidential Election In Georgia
The 1892 United States presidential election in Georgia took place on November 8, 1892, as part of the wider United States presidential election. Voters chose 13 representatives, or electors, to the Electoral College, who voted for president and vice president. Background and vote Following Reconstruction, Georgia would be the first former Confederate state to substantially disenfranchise its newly enfranchised freedmen and many poor whites, doing so in the early 1870s. This largely limited the Republican Party to a few North Georgia counties with substantial Civil War Unionist sentiment – chiefly Fannin but also to a lesser extent Pickens, Gilmer and Towns – and in presidential elections to a small number of counties elsewhere where blacks were not fully disenfranchised. The Democratic Party served as the guardian of white supremacy against a Republican Party historically associated with memories of Reconstruction, and the main competition became Democratic primaries, ...

United States Presidential Elections In Alabama
Following is a table of United States presidential elections in Alabama, ordered by year.

United States Presidential Election In Alabama, 1964
The 1964 United States presidential election in Alabama was held on November 3, 1964. Alabama voters chose ten representatives, or electors, to the Electoral College, who voted for President and Vice-President. In Alabama, voters voted for electors individually instead of as a slate, as in the other states. The slate of Republican electors pledged to presidential nominee Barry Goldwater of Arizona easily defeated the slate of unpledged Democratic electors. Incumbent Democratic president Lyndon B. Johnson was widely opposed by the conservative Democratic establishment in the Deep South for being too liberal on racial issues, so the local party chose to run a slate of electors who wouldn’t be obligated to support Johnson. With his victory, Goldwater became the first Republican since 1872 to carry Alabama, as well as the first Republican to ever carry the state without winning the presidency.

United States Presidential Election In Alabama, 1948
The 1948 United States presidential election in Alabama was held on November 2, 1948. The national Democratic Party nominee, incumbent president Harry S. Truman, did not appear on the ballot in the state, with the Alabama Democratic Party instead opting to field far-right South Carolina Governor Strom Thurmond as a Dixiecrat candidate. The state Supreme Court ruled that any statute requiring party presidential electors to vote for that party's national nominee was void. A "Loyalist" group did petition governor "Big Jim" Folsom to allow Truman electors, but Senator John Sparkman, fearing popular defeat at the hands of the Dixiecrats and a hostile state legislature, decided against placing Truman electors on the ballot.Barnard, William D.; ''Dixiecrats and Democrats: Alabama Politics'', p. 123 In other Southern states where Truman was on the ballot, Thurmond was forced to run under the label of the States' Rights Democratic Party.
