No Democrat was elected president while losing these states:



And no Republican was elected president while losing these states:



There really was a lack of close elections in the 20th century, and the closest elections were Democrat victories (Wilson in 1916, Kennedy in 1960, and Carter in 1976).

In your defense, as a head-to-head 1968 wouldn’t have been close because it’s clear that the bulk of Wallace’s supporters would have voted for Nixon over Humphrey

Yeah, I feel like a lot of Wallace supporters would have stayed home before voting for Humphrey if he wasn't on the ballot.
