Oklahoma was won by incumbent Vice President Richard Nixon (R–California), running with United States Ambassador to the United Nations Henry Cabot Lodge Jr., with 59.02% of the popular vote, against Senator John F. Kennedy (D–Massachusetts), running with Senator Lyndon B. Johnson, with 40.98% of the popular vote. In the Electoral College, Nixon received seven of Oklahoma's eight electoral votes; the eighth was cast by a faithless elector for Harry F. Byrd of Virginia.[2]
With 59.02% of the popular vote, Oklahoma would prove to be Nixon's third strongest state in 1960 after Nebraska and Kansas.[3] This election marked the first time since statehood that a Democrat won the presidency without carrying Oklahoma.
