Roosevelt Democratic Party (United States) The 1932 United States presidential election in North Carolina took place on November 8, 1932, as part of the 1932 United States presidential election. North Carolina voters chose thirteenhttps://www.archives.gov/federal-register/electoral-college/votes/1929_1941.html#1932 1932 Election for the Thirty-seventh Term (1933-37) January 29, 2019 representatives, or electors, to the Electoral College, who voted for president and vice president. As a former Confederate state, North Carolina had a history of Jim Crow laws, disfranchisement of its African-American population and dominance of the Democratic Party in state politics. However, unlike the Deep South, the Republican Party had sufficient historic Unionist White support from the mountains and northwestern Piedmont to gain a stable one-third of the statewide vote total in most general elections,Phillips, Kevin P.;The Emerging Republican Majority, pp. 210, 242 978-0-691-16324-6 where turnout was higher than elsewhere in the former Confederacy due substantially to the state's early abolition of the poll tax in 1920.Key, Valdimer Orlando; Southern Politics in State and Nation, p. 502, Alfred A. Knopf (1949) A rapid move following disenfranchisement to a completely “lily-white” state GOP also helped maintain Republican support amongst the state's voters.Heersink Boris Jenkins Jeffery A. Republican Party Politics and the American South, 1865–1968 2020 48–50, 239–243 Cambridge University Press 9781316663950 Like Virginia, Tennessee and Oklahoma, the relative strength of Republican opposition meant that North Carolina did not have statewide white primaries, although certain counties did use the white primary.Klarman Michael J. The White Primary Rulings: A Case Study in the Consequences of Supreme Court Decision-Making Florida State University Law Review 29 2001 55–107 However, anti-Catholicism against 1928 Democratic nominee Al Smith in the fishing communities of the Outer Banks, alongside increasing middle-class Republican voting in such cities as Charlotte, Durham and Greensboro,Phillips; The Emerging Republican Majority, pp. 212-215 meant that Republican nominee Herbert Hoover would use the lily-white state party to win its electoral votes for the first time since the Reconstruction election of 1872. During Hoover's administration, North Carolina was the scene of a major controversy in the Supreme Court nomination of Fourth Circuit judge and 1920 Republican gubernatorial candidate John Johnston Parker. During that election, Parker had said that black North Carolinians no longer desire to participate in politics, and when he was nominated the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People sent letters to senators requesting Parker's defeat.Goings Kenneth W. The NAACP comes of age: the defeat of Judge John J. Parker 1990 23–24 Indiana University Press 0253325854 The NAACP would ultimately succeed in defeating Parker, being helped by many Southern Democrats who feared that his nomination would strengthen a newly lily-white Republican Party in the South, by many Northern and Border State Republicans opposed to a lily-white GOP in the former Confederacy, and by the hostility of the American Federation of Labor to some of his rulings.Topping Simon Lincoln's lost legacy: the Republican Party and the African American vote, 1928-1952 22 2008 Gainesville, Florida University Press of Florida 978-0813032283 The Parker defeat put an end to Republican efforts to breach the “Solid South” for over two decades, and in North Carolina the two Republican Congressmen elected in 1928 would both be defeated in 1930. Although North Carolina suffered the smallest relative income loss of any state as a result of the Depression,Abrams Douglas Carl Conservative constraints: North Carolina and the New Deal 1992 University Press of Mississippi Jackson, Mississippi 9780878055593 3 many Southerners blamed the collapse on the North and on Wall Street.Ritchie Donald A. Electing FDR: the New Deal campaign of 1932 143 2007 Lawrence, Kansas University Press of Kansas 978-0700616879 it had extremely severe effects in the South, which had the highest unemployment rate in the nation, and many Southerners blamed this on the North and on Wall Street, rejecting Hoover's claim that the Depression's causes were exogenous. Neither Hoover nor Democratic nominees Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt and Speaker John Nance Garner campaigned in North Carolina, which was universally expected to return to the “Solid South” with economic conditions as bad as they were.Lewinson Paul 1965 Race, class and party; a history of Negro suffrage and white politics in the South 167–168 Early polls in October would entirely omit the state, even those including Confederate states that had actually remained loyal to Al Smith.See Roosevelt Increases Lead over Hoover with Nearly 800,000 Votes Counted in Literary Digest's Poll The Piqua Daily Call October 7, 1932 6 The only poll taken in the state was taken very late in the campaign and had Roosevelt leading by three-to-one.All Record Broken by Digest Poll: Semi-Final Figures Near 3,000,000 Mark — Vote Stands Hoover 1,093,274, Roosevelt 1,648,237 The Hartford Daily Courant October 28, 1932 24 North Carolina was won by Roosevelt with 69.93 percent of the popular vote, against Hoover and Vice President Charles Curtis, with 29.28 percent of the popular vote.http://uselectionatlas.org/RESULTS/state.php?f=0&fips=37&year=1932 1932 Presidential General Election Results – North Carolina January 29, 2019 Roosevelt won all but six loyally Unionist counties; although as in 1928 rock-ribbed Republican Avery County in the northwestern Blue Ridge Mountains was Hoover's tenth-best in the country.Dave Leip’s U.S. Election Atlas 1932 Presidential Election Statistics https://uselectionatlas.org/RESULTS/stats.php?year=1932&f=0&off=0&elect=0 Results 1932 United States presidential election in North Carolina Franklin D.
