Southern Voting Behavior Since The 1960s

Between elections and elections, voters in many parts of the US tend to vote in different ways. Presidential elections and local elections for that country also faded. South usually does not follow these patterns that others seem to obey. Caucasters in the south of the United States usually follow more conservative candidates and political parties and vote. Southern black people usually vote (as they can vote) to vote for more free political parties and candidates.

Voting in the south since the 1960s followed the most decisive conservative or southern white view guardian's voting model. In the 1968 election, southern white people voted for George C. Wallace and others in the south picked Nixon and Hubert Humphrey. In the 1972 election, this trend seems to continue as Nixon is relatively conservative among the two presidential candidates, so he chose the southern people. In the election of 1976, even white people in the south voted for Democrat Jimmy Carter and seems to have been shocked by the Watergate scandal. Carter was not conservative, and came from the south while pulling the southern conservative Caucasian and black voters. In 1980, in addition to Georgia, Ronald Reagan got the entire southern region, and southern Caucasi seemed to resolve again for conservative candidates. In the 1984 election, Ronald Reagan occupied 49 states and the south.

In the social instability associated with the whole of the 1960s, especially the civil rights movement, conservative Republican politicians saw the opportunity to gather votes from the South, and working-class whites traditionally voted for the Democratic party . And then. In the 1980s, as "Reagan Democrat". They do this by paying more attention to section m of the Republican Southern strategy. In retrospect, some of the most influential designers and practitioners opposed this and expressed regret over their roles. Hello, it has given permanent damage. The hatred appeal continued with the requests of George Wolfs and Leicester Maddox on Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan, George Herbert Bush's open racial discrimination in the 1960s.

After most Democrats passed the civil rights bill in the 1960s, racists left the party as if rats were looking for arid areas. They discovered that Richard Nixon's "Southern Strategy" and Republicans have since carefully raised the foundation of their racism since then. Their policy recommendations are very meaningful, otherwise they will not win elections. In the past, Republican racial discrimination was always done implicitly. It fly under the radar. Because they know that they do not have democratic houses, racists continue to vote for Republicans. The cards did not get a note, or probably did not understand it by reading it. The racist is excited and happy, can go out of the closet and regard it as a Republican legitimate member.
