1956 SPECIAL NOTE

   When this particular page was originally composed, the Dave Leip U.S. Election Atlas (see
   links at top or bottom of this page) was the only available source showing proper separation
   of popular vote counts for T. Coleman Andrews (States Rights Party) and a summary total of
   votes for unpledged electors in several states.

   Happy to report that Wikipedia's 1956 U.S. Presidential Election page  (links at top or
   bottom of this page) now shows Mr. Andrews' data and the unpledged elector data in one
   of its summaries. BTW -- The  sum total of all unpledged elector popular votes comes
   out to 196,318. That total is third overall after Eisenhower (35,579,180) and
   Stevenson (26,028,028). Andrews is in 4th place  with 108,956 popular votes.

++1 = A faithless Democrat elector in Alabama cast his ballot for Alabama Judge
      Walter B. Jones (for President) and Georgia Governor Herman Talmadge (for
      Vice President), instead of for Stevenson and his V.P. choice, Senator
      Estes Kefauver of Tennessee. Richard Nixon was the GOP V.P. candidate.

++2 = When this particular page was originally composed, the Dave Leip U.S. Election
      Atlas (see links at top or bottom of this page) was the only available source
      showing proper separation of popular vote counts for T. Coleman Andrews (States
      Rights Party) and a summary total of votes for unpledged electors in several states.

      Happy to report that Wikipedia's 1956 U.S. Presidential Election page  (links
      at top or bottom of this page) now shows Mr. Andrews' data and the unpledged
      elector data in one of its summaries. BTW -- The  sum total of all unpledged
      elector popular votes comes out to 196,318. That total is third overall after
      Eisenhower (35,579,180) and Stevenson (26,028,028). Andrews is in 4th place
      with 108,956 popular votes.
