Florida voters chose seven electors, or representatives to the Electoral College, who voted for president and vice president. Ever since the disfranchisement of blacks at the beginning of the 1890s, Florida had been a one-party state ruled by the Democratic Party. The disfranchisement of blacks and poor whites by poll taxes in 1889Silbey, Joel H. and Bogue, Allan G.; The History of American Electoral Behavior, p. 210 140087114X had left the Republican Party, which had been dependent upon black votes between 1872 and 1888, virtually extinct. With the single exception of William Howard Taft's win in Calhoun County in 1908Robinson, Edgar Eugene; The Presidential Vote; 1896-1932 (second edition); pp. 156-157 Published 1947 by Stanford University Press the Democratic Party won every county in Florida in every presidential election from 1892In the 1892 presidential election, Republican Benjamin Harrison was not on the ballot and the party backed Populist James B. Weaver. until 1916. Only twice – and never for more than one term – did any Republican serve in either house of the state legislature between 1896 and 1928. Despite this Democratic dominance and the restrictions on the franchise of the poorer classes due to the poll tax, significant socialist movements were to develop and persist in TampaFord, Edward J.; 'Life on the Campaign Trail: a Political Anthropology of Local Politics' (thesis), published 2008 by University of South Florida, pp. 114-118 and to a lesser extent over other parts of the state, especially against the powerful Ku Klux Klan.Gregory, Raymond F.; Norman Thomas: The Great Dissenter, pp. 150-151 0875866239 There was also a powerful Prohibitionist movements in older North Florida, which saw the Prohibition Party even win the governorship for one term under the notorious anti-Catholic minister Sidney J. Catts. The 1920 election, aided by a growing "presidential Republican" vote from migrants from the northern states in southern Florida, saw the GOP increase its vote totals above those from traditional Unionists (which Florida entirely lacked) in Texas, Arkansas, Alabama or Georgia.Phillips, Kevin; The Emerging Republican Majority, pp. 210-211, 261 9780691163246 In 1928, Florida, especially the western Panhandle pineywoods, turned dramatically away from the Democratic Party due to the nomination of Catholic Al Smith, with the result that Herbert Hoover became the first Republican to win a statewide election since the end of Reconstruction. The influence of the Great Depression completely reversed the Republican trend in Florida presidential elections of the 1920s. Absent the religious issue that controlled the 1928 election, Florida resumed typical "Solid South" voting behavior, although the urban Republican trend of the 1920s was not wholly reversed, as seen in Hoover gaining over forty percent of the ballots in the growing urban counties of Orange (Orlando) and Pinellas (St. Petersburg). Franklin D. Roosevelt won against Herbert Hoover by 137,137 votes or by 49.64% and received all 7 of the electoral votes.https://uselectionatlas.org/RESULTS/state.php?year=1932&fips=12&f=1&off=0&elect=0 1932 Presidential General Election Results – Florida Leip David Dave Leip's Atlas of U.S. Presidential Elections 2018-01-02 Results Franklin D.
