Question
what made fdrs win in 1932 a landslide?
the electoral college voted unanimously for fdr.
every region--not just the south--voted for fdr.
more people voted than ever before, and fdr won more of those votes than anyone before ever had.
more people registered to vote for the first time than ever before, and voted for fdr.
To determine what made FDR's 1932 win a landslide, we analyze each option:
- "The Electoral College voted unanimously for FDR" is incorrect as the Electoral College doesn't vote as a single entity unanimously in such a way, and historical records show it wasn't unanimous.
- "Every region--not just the South--voted for FDR" is a key factor. The Great Depression had widespread impact, and FDR's New Deal promises appealed across regions, breaking the Solid South - only support pattern of previous Democratic candidates, leading to broad regional support.
- "More people voted than ever before, and FDR won more of those votes than anyone before ever had" is partially true about voter turnout, but the broad regional support (not just high turnout) was crucial for the landslide.
- "More people registered to vote for the first time than ever before, and voted for FDR" focuses on new registrants, but the landslide was more about cross - regional support and overall vote share across all voters, not just new ones.
