Notes

[edit]

^The McGovern vote was actuallya fusion of two distinct electoral tickets with different electors both pledged to vote for him. One was of the regular Democratic Party and the other of theNational Democratic Party of Alabama. At least 219,108 votes were cast for the Democratic ticket and at least 37,815 for the National Democratic ticket,^[1] though this sum differs from that inDave Leip's Atlas.
