NOTES ... The "Solid South", those states which were part of the Confederacy from 1861 to 1865, once again voted
          heavily for a Democratic candidate. This is the main reason why, in terms of Electoral Points, Calvin
          Coolidge won the election by a margin of only 977 points above the 77,510 need-to-win mark.

          Herman Faris, 4th in both Electoral Points and national popular votes, gains the very dubious
          distinction of earning the least amount of Electoral Points -- 51 -- in any U.S. Presidential
          election from 1900 to the present.   BTW, at the other extreme is Richard Nixon who earned a
          whopping 102,925 Electoral Points in the 1972 election. The difference ratio between Mr. Nixon's
          total and Mr. Faris' total is 2,018.137255+ to one !!!!!!!!!!!!
