While significant attention in political science is devoted to
national level elections, a comprehensive look at state level
political dynamics in the United States is so far sorely missing,
and state level electoral developments and shifts are treated as
mere reflections of national-level dynamics and patterns. This book
argues that this significantly impacts our ability to understand
macro-level electoral shifts in the United States in general. The
book analyzes gubernatorial, congressional, and presidential
election results in the state of Alabama from 1945 through 2020.
Comprehensive maps of county-level partisan shifts over time and
comparisons between trends for different offices make it possible
to isolate pivotal elections and compare state-level and national
trends over time. When and where did Alabama's electorate break
with the Democratic Party, and were these breaks uniform across the
state? Which counties shifted the most over time, and was this
shift gradual or characterized by change elections? Comprehensive
electoral data, on the county- and precinct-level, make it possible
to answer these questions and place state-level electoral behavior
in its regional and national context. Detailed county level
demographic and economic data is used to provide local context for
electoral patterns, shifts, and continuities.
