Yes, there were a ton of Dem sweeps in rural South counties during roughly 1890-1940, but that was because only the Dem base of the day was allowed to vote in those counties.
I am pretty sure this happened somewhere in Michigan and/or Vermont for Harding and Hoover in their landslides.
It certainly
didn’t happen, actually, although those states were almost completely single-party Republican at the time.
The fewest votes Cox received in any county was in
Alpine County, California – where he obtained just six votes. In 1924, John W. Davis, who had the worst percentage of the vote of any major-party nominee since 1916, received only five votes in Alpine County. In Michigan, the fewest votes Davis received in any county was fifty votes in
Keweenaw County, and the fewest Cox received was 75 votes in
Oscoda County.
At the
town level Cox
was shut out in the following four Vermont towns:
John W. Davis in the following 1924 election was shut out in the following five Vermont towns:
- Elmore – no votes out of sixty-five
- Waltham – no votes out of fifty-nine
- Brookline – no votes out of fifty, though Robert La Follette received two votes
- Stannard – no votes out of forty-two
- Somerset – no votes our of eight
For Hoover, I do not have access to direct data on me, but I am sure Al Smith did no worse than the data above.
