1968 presidential election results with 3 candidates



Nixon: 55.95%
Humphrey: 35.50%
Wallace: 8.55%

Nixon - 31,783,783
Humphrey - 31,271,839

Stunning!

It was my first election. In California I cast my losing vote for Humphrey. I only recall it wasn't called by the time we called it a night. Now I see how weird that election was. After various riots and upheaval of 1968's assassinations. That EC is totally wack.
