There is no way SC would go to Humphrey. Kentucky is also a stretch.
He chose a Popular Governor from North Carolina as his running mate, so it should have a lot of affect in South Carolina as well.
Especially back then since voters were pretty fickle then
SC is not NC. SC went to Goldwater in actual real life. KY against Goldwater now thinking about it, is not a stretch, but SC basically impossible Especially if you have Wallace winning there in 1964. If AR goes to Goldwater, so is SC.
Also very interesting TL but let's not screw up poltical demography.
