| According to the 1920 U.S. Census (completed by his father, [[henry_beaman_randall|Henry Beaman Randall]]), by the time that he was 7 years old, his family had moved to Saint Michael and Saint Phillip, Charleston, South Carolina. By 1930 (when “Dub” was 17), his family had moved back to Lavonia, GA. However, W.B. "Dub" Randall does not appear on [[henry_beaman_randall|Henry Beaman Randall]]'s U.S. Census for that year. Instead, W.B. "Dub" Randall appears on the U.S. Census as living in Center (Oconee County), South Carolina with the family of his Uncle, [[william_bill_randall|William "Bill" Randall]] (perhaps only for the summer, as he was listed as a "Laborer" working on the farm). | According to the 1920 U.S. Census (completed by his father, [[henry_beaman_randall|Henry Beaman Randall]]), by the time that he was 7 years old, his family had moved to Saint Michael and Saint Phillip, Charleston, South Carolina.

| Like the majority of people in the South at that time, politically "Dub" was a life-long Democrat. However, the Democratic Party was far more conservative during the early to mid 20th century than it is today. The Democratic party became increasingly socialist during the late 20th century... as the Republican Party became more conservative. This "switch" prompted many Georgians to switch to the Republican Party. By the early 21st century, the majority of Georgians had switched to the Republican Party... electing their first Republican State Governor in 2002. | Like the majority of people in the South at that time, politically "Dub" was a life-long Democrat.
