Voters chose six representatives, or electors to the Electoral College, who voted for president and vice president. Although Colorado had been strongly Democratic-leaning between 1896 and 1916 (due to the Free Silver movement), the nomination of Catholic New York Governor Smith was very poorly received throughout heavily white and Protestant Colorado. The state had been all but ruled by the Ku Klux Klan for a number of years early in the decade,Ubbelohde, Carl; Benson, Maxine and Smith Duane A.; A Colorado History, p. 286 0871089424 and the strong anti-Catholic sentiment remained outside the heavily Mexican-American south-central part of the state.Menendez, Albert J.; The Religious Factor in the 1960 Presidential Election. An Analysis of the Kennedy Victory Over Anti-Catholic Prejudice, p. 175 0786460377 Although Smith did make large gains in the Mexican-American counties, Hoover gained greatly over Calvin Coolidge in 1924 by up to 30 percent in the heavily populated Front Range counties and Colorado consequently became the seventh most Republican state in the nation, voting 14 percentage points more Republican than the nation at-large.
