George Wallace ran in the Democratic primary, but was defeated by U.S. SenatorDaniel Brewster , who served as a surrogate for Johnson. Wallace won a majority of the white vote.[ 3]
As of the2016 presidential election , this is the last election in whichHarford County ,Carroll County ,Washington County ,Wicomico County ,Worcester County ,Queen Anne's County andCaroline County voted for a Democratic Presidential candidate.[ 4]
Anne Arundel County would not vote Democratic again until2016 , whileFrederick andTalbot counties would not do so until2020 , withDonald Trump being the first Republican to lose all three of these counties, as well as the statewidewhite vote, since this election.[ 4] However,Dorchester County on the Eastern Shore flipped against the trend from Kennedy to Goldwater, reflecting theracial tension in the area at this time and the declaration of martial law in the county by GovernorJ. Millard Tawes in response; similarly, it would be the only county in the state whereGeorge Wallace (who had given a speech there during the 1964 primary campaign) finished in second place four years later, ahead of Democratic Vice PresidentHubert Humphrey .[ 5]
