| A note on sources | |||||||||||||
| You'll note there are no election results prior to 1824. That's because Kentucky was virtually all Democratic in that period, and besides, I found no actual results. | |||||||||||||
| The bulk of this material is from a classic on the subject, Jasper B. Shannon and Ruth McQuown's Presidential Politics in Kentucky, 1824 - 1948. It's a wonderful | |||||||||||||
| source, but it stops in 1948 (it was published in 1950). Results from 1976 forward can be found on the web site: http://www.elect.ky.gov/results/, which | |||||||||||||
