Coolidge won a landslide victory, taking majorities in both the popular vote and the Electoral College and winning almost every state outside of the Solid South (while still making headway by winning Kentucky). La Follette won 16.6% of the popular vote, a strong showing for a third-party candidate, while Davis won the lowest share of the popular vote of any Democratic nominee in history. This was one of only three elections with more than two major candidates where any candidate received a majority of popular votes cast, the others being 1832 and 1980. This is the most recent election to date in which a third-party candidate won a non-Southern state. This was also the US election with the lowest per capita voter turnout since records were kept. This election was the last time the Democratic nominee for vice president was a sitting governor until 2024. It was also the last time a Republican won the presidency without winning any of the former Confederate states. This was also the last election that neither major party nominee was from New York until 1956.
