For example, I have queries regarding a specific US Senate special election in Alabama in the 1930s? Specifically, I hope to get more information on the candidates and their vote shares.

Can I check if such an overly specific question is on-topic for this site?

    Assuming they don't fall afoul of any other close reasons, I don't think there's anything wrong with extremely specific questions – though you may never get an answer

    Something that old could conceivably of more interest on history SE. Unless it's somehow tied to more recent politics in some way (e.g. cited as precedent for some claim/issue etc.)

  • And on some types of specifics the answer might be "no" in practice.
