George Romney would have picked Jacob Javits as his running mate.  He would have won big, but Wallace would have won more Southern States to the point where there would have been no electoral college majority.

Had that happened, the Democrats would have instructed all of their electors to vote for Romney to prevent a Wallace Presidency.  If Romney had lost, the Republicans would have instructed all of their electors to vote for Humphrey.  The major parties reputedly had an agreement to do whatever was necessary to keep Wallace from having any significant leverage.
