In Alabama Al Smith only won the State 51.3% to 48.5% while in Mississippi he won it 82.1% to 17.9%. Why was their such huge difference that year between the two states

Al Smith was a poor fit for AL in many regards. A lot of AL Dems who voted for John Davis in 1924 and FDR in 1932 voted R in this election, calling themselves “Hoovercrats.”

The Wikipedia page goes into more detail...
