About the 1924 presidential election

Calvin Coolidge became president when Harding died in August 1923. He kept his distance from the Harding scandals and presided over a booming economy. Democrats were badly split between their urban Northern and rural Southern wings, and needed 103 ballots at their New York convention to settle on John W. Davis, a Wall Street lawyer and former ambassador to Britain. Robert M. La Follette, the Wisconsin senator, ran on a Progressive ticket backed by farm groups and labor unions. He won about a sixth of the popular vote and carried his home state, with 13 electoral votes. Coolidge won 35 states and 382 electoral votes, taking Kentucky from the Democrats by 2.6 points. His closest wins came in the border states: Maryland by 4.5, West Virginia by 5.4 and Missouri by 5.6, along with New Mexico by 5.5. Davis won 12 states and 136 electoral votes, almost entirely in the South, where he took back Tennessee and Oklahoma. Outside the former Confederacy Davis carried nothing, and in many Western states he finished third behind La Follette.

Margin: the Democrat's share of all votes minus the Republican's. Margins are Democrat minus Republican, of all votes. Certified results, from the states' own archives, the MIT Election Data and Science Lab, Heideman (2026) and Algara & Amlani (2021). Maine and Nebraska are shown whole, without their district votes. By county: "As they were" draws each county as it stood on election day; "Today's" shares the old votes among today's counties by area.
