Although Colorado had been strongly Democratic-leaning between 1896 and 1916 , the nomination of Catholic New York Governor Smith was very poorly received in the eastern part of the state, part of the High Plains Methodist “Bible Belt ”. The state had been all but ruled by the Ku Klux Klan for a number of years early in the decade,[1] Mexican-American south-central part of the state.[2] 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.
Hoover’s is the best Republican presidential performance in Colorado’s history,[3] William Jennings Bryan in 1896 when he was overwhelmingly supported by the state’s powerful silver mining industry.[4]
