I dunno about Hoover, but for Carter '80, just ask The New York Times editorial board:

[Indy Texas]

Woman from rural Kentucky who grew up in a historically Republican county in a loyally Republican family, and cast her first vote for president for Hoover in 1932 at age 21.

Her family fell on hard times during the Depression and she moved to Cincinnati, where she met and married a hardcore Democrat who was also from rural Kentucky, albeit from a county as Democratic as hers was Republican. She deferred to him on political matters and largely parroted his Democratic views, just as she had largely parroted her family's Republican views earlier. She voted Democratic in every presidential election for the rest of her life and died in 1982.

African-American.

yup

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

A non-union blue collar Republican in West Virginia, who becomes unionized in Depression and retires in the 1970's, but retains his New Deal era Democratic loyalties.

[Dr. Cynic]

Won't die.

My grandfather was 20 (just missed eligibility) and 68 at those elections. I suppose he should've died 8 years before I was born and 17 years before he actually did by that logic.

But probably an elderly African American from a northeastern city.
