And even if he's not Prez, he might run in '76 if he's McGovern's VP nominee and wins (assuming, of course, that McGovern serves two terms). You do have VP Goldwater running this time, so...

Goldwater was very much pro-civil rights; he only voted against the 1964 CRA out of concerns over its constitutionality.

And how did Ike only get >30% in Michigan?

In the libertarian sort of way.  The other day my professor was actually talking about meeting Goldwater once, and pretty much commented to the effect that his heart was in the right place.

[Goldwater]

You do realize that Goldwater supported all civil rights legislation prior to the Civil Rights Act of 1964, right? Say what you will about his reasons for opposing it, but it's clearly not because of an opposition to all civil rights.

Unpledged Electors was on the ballot in MI. Thus, with an increased result for them, the results were narrowed, even in a state they didn't win.

Longest streaks for each party: MN has voted consistently D since 1956 (Sinclair won it in '52 - Socialist). VT has voted consistently R since 1880 (Tilden won in '76 - Democratic). Vermont going Republican has been the longest-lasting political streak of any state in history.

[Antonio the Sixth]

Pretty sure McGovern won it this time around, though.

DC and Hawaii have voted for the winner in every single election they've been in. The state with the longest winning streak is Illinois: the last time it voted for a losing candidate was in 1928, when it picked Seymour Stedman over Al Smith.

No, Illinois voted for Upton Sinclair over the victorious FDR in 1944. Illinois ties with New Jersey and California for longest winning streak- all three states supported Sinclair in that election.

Oh. Well, I guess there's a tie.

So we live in a world where Hawaii and DC are the bellwether states?
