I agree with the above.
1976: Massachusetts, how Carter seriously underperformed in the Boston area, for a variety of reasons.
1972: None.
1968: Texas and Maryland (Spiro Agnew's home state), both Southern or border states, especially after one poll in early Sept. showed Humphrey up on Wallace just 28-21 nationally (Nixon was far ahead at 43%).
1964: Mississippi, not that it went for Goldwater, but the sheer margin by which it did, and the fact that Blacks there were essentially totally disenfranchised; even in Alabama a few counties (Macon, for instance) had a lot of Black voters.
1960: Oregon, how JFK wasn't even particularly close. Alternatively, Hawaii, for its fantastic closeness.
1956: Missouri, the only time from 1900 or so until 2008 that it voted with the loser, and in a landslide no less.
1952: Kentucky (how close it was)
1948: Ohio
