I am pretty certain that most hippies wouldn’t have voted for Humphrey. Humphrey was to heavily associated with the war in Vietnam and Lyndon Johnson. Humphrey’s nomination was secured by people like Mayor Daley of Chicago, whose police had beaten up a lot of anti-war activists and hippies during the Convention. A lot of anti-war activists and hippies regarded Humphrey as a man of the “Old politics”, just like Richard Nixon.
