That identity held for 1 consecutive presidential elections.
The unraveling was not abrupt. The Democratic margin in State House District 9A peaked at sixty points in 1932; it narrowed steadily over the late twentieth century. The 1956 election delivered the district to the Republican party for the first time in many years, by a margin of nine points. By 2024, the margin had settled into deep Republican territory.
