Political unrest seen in the Palmer Raids and the "Red Scare" further added to the unpopularity of the Democratic Party, since this global political turmoil produced considerable fear of alien revolutionaries invading the country.Leuchtenburg, William E.; The Perils of Prosperity, 1914-1932, p. 75 0226473724 Demand in the West for exclusion of Asian immigrants became even stronger than it had been before.Vought, Hans P.; The Bully Pulpit and the Melting Pot: American Presidents And The Immigrant, 1897-1933, p. 167 0865548870 Another factor hurting the Democratic Party was the migration of many people from the traditionally Republican Upper Midwest into the state. Because the West had been the chief presidential battleground ever since the "System of 1896" emerged following that election,Faykosh, Joseph D., Bowling Green State University; The Front Porch of the American People: James Cox and the Presidential Election of 1920 (thesis), p. 68 Governor Cox traveled across the western states in August and September, but he did not visit Wyoming with its tiny population and poverty of electoral votes. No polls were taken in the state, but a Republican success was universally assumed. Like every Mountain state, Wyoming, which had voted strongly for Woodrow Wilson in 1916 – turned very strongly against Cox, who was to lose the state by a two-to-one majority, after Charles Evans Hughes had lost the state by double digits in 1916. Harding carried every county in Wyoming with an absolute majority, and passed sixty percent in all but three. Socialist Eugene Debs was not on the ballot in Wyoming, but Labor candidate Parley Christensen managed double figures in Sheridan County. This would prove the last time Sweetwater County voted Republican until Richard Nixon's landslide 1972 victory.Menendez, Albert J.; The Geography of Presidential Elections in the United States, 1868-2004, pp. 342-343 0786422173 Results + General Election ResultsWyoming Secretary of State 1921 Official Directory of Wyoming and Election Returns for 1920 Election Returns, 1920 1921 The Mills Company Sheridan, Wyoming 36–37 https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=mdp.39015054483659&view=1up&seq=38 18 October 2024Party Pledged to Elector Votes Republican Party Warren G.
