North Dakota was won by former Vice President Richard Nixon (Republican Party, New York), with 55.94% of the popular vote, against Vice President Hubert Humphrey (Democratic Party, Minnesota), with 38.23% of the popular vote, a 17.71% margin of victory. Independent candidate George Wallace received 5.75% of the popular vote.[3][4] North Dakota was Nixon's fourth strongest state after Nebraska, Idaho and Utah.[5]
This is the last election in which North Dakota had four electoral college votes; it lost its 2nd district due to reapportionment based on the 1970 Census.
