The1968 United States presidential election in Hawaii took place on November 5, 1968. All 50 states andthe District of Columbia, were part of the1968 United States presidential election. Hawaii voters chose 4 electors to theElectoral College, which selected thepresident andvice president.
Hawaii overwhelmingly voted for theDemocratic Party nomineeVice PresidentHubert Humphrey ofMinnesota withEdmund Muskie againstRepublican Party candidate, formerVice PresidentRichard Nixon ofNew York withSpiro Agnew. Hawaii weighed in for this election as 22% moreDemocratic than the national average, with Humphrey winning the state by a 21% margin.
Hawaii would prove to be the weakest state for theAmerican Independent Party candidate, formerAlabama governorGeorge Wallace, who won 3,469 votes, amounting to a total of around 1%. Being the only state in the country to have a plurality ofnon-white residents, mainlyAsian Americans andPacific Islanders, Wallace's strong segregationist views failed to make any significant impact on the state's electorate, especially since he was far beyond his base of support in theDeep South.[2][3]
