The 1920 United States presidential election in Alabama took place on November 2, 2012 as part of the 1920 General Election in which all 48 states participated. Alabama voters chose twelve electors to represent them in the Electoral College via a popular vote pitting Democratic nominee James M. Cox and his running mate, Assistant Secretary of the Navy Franklin Roosevelt, against Republican challenger U.S. Senator Warren G. Harding and his running mate, Governor Calvin Coolidge.
James Cox won the election in Alabama with 67.31 percent of the vote. Warren G. Harding received 31.37 percent of the vote. Nonetheless, Harding did manage to carry nine counties as against only union holdouts Winston and Chilton plus urbanized Shelby County carried by Hughes in 1916, with his most notable triumph being in DeKalb County, where he was the first-ever Republican victor.
