Voters chose ten representatives, or electors to the Electoral College, who voted for president and vice president. Ever since the passage of a new constitution in 1898, Louisiana had been a one-party state dominated by the Democratic Party. The Republican Party became moribund due to the disenfranchisement of African-Americans and the complete absence of other support bases as Louisiana completely lacked upland or German refugee whites opposed to secession.Phillips Kevin P.

Davis of West Virginia over incumbent president Calvin Coolidge, being, as was typical at this height of the “Solid South”, Davis’ third-strongest state behind South Carolina and Mississippi with 76.44 percent of the popular vote.https://uselectionatlas.org/RESULTS/state.php?f=0&fips=22&year=1924 1924 Presidential General Election Results — Louisiana Dave Leip’s U.S. Election Atlas With the easing of foreign-policy tensions and conflicts over women's suffrage, the revolt from the previous two elections in Acadiana weakened, although Coolidge still ran much better there than he did in the racially hardline north and Florida Parishes. Louisiana was the only state where Progressive nominee Robert M. La Follette of Wisconsin was not on the ballot, although it is known that there were write-in votes cast for him.Scammon Richard M.
