   That happened in 1925, when he was 22 and a Democrat.   
      
   * He didn't change to Republican until 1964.   
   * Until they raised it to 16 around the turn of the millenium, the age   
      of consent in South Carolina was 12.   
   My impression is that the bigger issue for him was the white/black   
   issue during Segregation times.   
      
   As to the list itself ...   
      
   * Taking just the number that voted Republican in recent elections,   
      that's some 75 million, with ~80 million ballots for Biden in 2020.   
   * Your list spans 100 years, though most are from the last 50 years.   
   * It has only 60 examples, at least this one of which is wrong (since he   
      was a Democrat at the time).   
      
   I would expect one could find at least as many Democrat examples over   
   that same period.  The actual numbers on both sides are probably higher.
