1968 United States Presidential Election (President Wallace Redux)

The 1968 United States Presidential Election was the 46th quadrennial presidential election, held on Tuesday, November 5, 1968. In a stunning upset, the third party candidacy of Alabama Governor George Wallace defeated the Republican ticket of New York Governor Nelson Rockefeller and the Democratic ticket of Minnesota Senator Hubert Humphrey.

Wallace's victory was a major upset, and was seen as a result of Wallace's staunch conservatism and populism, which one him widespread support from union voters in the Midwest, southerners, and conservatives nationwide.

Wallace ran as the only openly right-wing candidate, with Rockefeller being leader of the Republican Party's progressive wing, and Humphrey campaigned as a champion of liberalism.
