I can't speak for South Dakota in 1968, but I know Kennedy campaigned pretty hard in Nebraska and did quite well with the rural Catholic vote. I believe RFK won Omaha, which combined with the rural vote is a guaranteed win in NE. McCarthy won in Lincoln and in a few rural areas and I have no explanation why on the later. FWIW, Ted Kennedy won several counties in the 1980 primary in eastern NE over Carter. I think Ted may actually have won South Dakota that year.
