the electoral college did not follow the popular vote.
all changes saved
The 1932 U.S. presidential election saw a historic realignment: the South, previously a reliably Democratic stronghold, was not the new change—instead, an unprecedented number of voters abandoned the Republican Party (associated with the Great Depression's failures) to vote Democratic for Franklin D. Roosevelt. The other options are incorrect: Republicans had won the Northeast before, the South had long voted Democratic, and the Electoral College had diverged from the popular vote prior to 1932 (e.g., 1876, 1888).
