The1916 United States presidential election in Georgia took place on November 7, 1916, as part of the wider United States presidential election. Voters chose 14 representatives, or electors, to theElectoral College, who voted forpresident andvice president.
With the exception of a handful of historicallyUnionistNorth Georgia counties – chieflyFannin but also to a lesser extentPickens,Gilmer andTowns – Georgia since the 1880s had been aone-party state dominated by the Democratic Party. Disfranchisement of almost all African-Americans and most poor whites had made the Republican Party virtually nonexistent outside of local governments in those few hill counties,[1] and the national Democratic Party served as the guardian ofwhite supremacy against a Republican Party historically associated with memories ofReconstruction. The only competitive elections wereDemocratic primaries, which state laws restricted to whites on the grounds of the Democratic Party being legally a private club.[2]
