Except for 1972, I have to think he has voted Democratic in all of his nearly 96 years. In his initial autobiography Why Not The Best?, he talked about his family's active support for LBJ in 1964--which caused considerable trouble for him and his business that year.
As for 1972, McGovern's outcome in Georgia was abysmal (just 25 percent, which after Mississippi was his worst performance). There were defections at all levels from Hubert Humphrey's vote in 1968--and Humphrey received only 27 percent in a 3 way race that George Wallace won. That, and the mutual animosity between McGovern and Carter, wouldn't surprise me if he didn't vote Democrat at the presidential level.
