Thurmond won severeal southern states so eaisly because in most of them he was the only on the ballot, as official Democratic nominee

Yes, his popular vote was not impressive, but turnout was low in the south in general at this time, as nearly everyone votes for official (in this case) Democratic nominee

Atlas only has Thurmond on the Democratic ballot line in MS and AL. In SC, LA he was on the States' Rights line.

Thanks for the correction.

Was Truman on the SC ballot? I know he was not in AL at all and in Louisiana he was put only after Allen Elleeder direct intervention.

Well, who would dixiecrats vote instead? Dewey? Wallace? That's why Thurmond does so well.
