Wallace 1968-Mcgovern 1972 voters

[Urbanbluedog]

Not many of them aside from a few counties in Tennessee.

Probably just a few yellow dog democrats who still refused to vote for any republican, but were okay with Wallace.

[Podgy the Bear]

Probably Tom Turnipseed, who was Wallace's executive director for the 1968 campaign and made a dramatic turnaround in the early 1970s to become a progressive and civil rights activist in his home in South Carolina.

Racist but unwilling to vote against their economic interests.

They definitely existed most were probably Lifelong yellowdog democrats in the south who liked George Wallace and wouldn't vote for Nixon because he was a Republican. The overwhelmingly majority of Wallace voters broke for Nixon though but their were a few who just voted for Mcgovern because he's a Democrat and Nixon was a Republican

[Alcibiades]

A fair few New Deal/TVA Democrats - Wallace was pretty much the only non-national Democrat this group voted for en masse until they started to die out.

[Fuzzy Bear]

Some might have been liberal Democrats who voted for Wallace to keep their state from going to Nixon.

If you're a liberal Democrat in SC or TN or NC and you know that HHH will win if the election goes to the House, but finish 3rd in your state, who would YOU vote for?

Tennessee Valley Authority ftw

[Oppo]

Allegedly 1/5 McCarthy primary voters went for Wallace in the general election, partially because Wallace pledged to end the war if he couldn’t win in it 90 days.
