Fun fact:  From 1944 through 1980, Louisiana never voted for the same party twice in a row.
1944: FDR
1948: Thurmond
1952: Stevenson
1956: Eisenhower
1960: Kennedy
1964: Goldwater
1968: Wallace
1972: Nixon
1976: Carter
1980: Reagan

While it’s technically true that they never voted for the same party twice in a row, one should keep in mind that without Thurmond’s and Wallace’s third-party candidacies, they might have voted for the same party in 1944-1952, 1964-1968, and/or 1968-1972.
