This research is a “prequel” to an analysis performed in a 2002 publication involving the 1960 and 1964 presidential elections. The thesis of this research is that an undetected long-range secular realignment may have been at work in these five Southern states prior to the 1960s. Past research has been based almost exclusively on survey data. While survey data is invaluable, it is limited to the questions asked of respondents. Using countylevel data, this article analyzes presidential elections from 1948–1956 in Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, and South Carolina. While this type of data has its limitations, it can give an indication of whether Republican voting was taking place in the Deep South before 1964. The findings of this research suggest that noticeable patterns of Republican voting in Louisiana, Mississippi, and South Carolina were indeed present prior to the 1960s
