Nelson A. Rockefeller/George W. Romney (R): 445 EVGeorge C. Wallace/Albert B. Chandler (D): 93 EVGovernor Nelson Rockefeller of New York comfortably defeats former Governor George Wallace of Alabama in the Presidential Election of 1968 to become 37th President of the United States, succeeding President Lyndon B. Johnson as President. For the benefit of the doubt, I have given Governor Wallace sweeps the South and nowhere else, and Governor Rockefeller wins everywhere else. Governor Rockefeller also becomes the only Republican candidate to win the District of Columbia.
