The1968 United States presidential election in Oklahoma took place on November 5, 1968. All fifty states andthe District of Columbia were part of the1968 United States presidential election. Voters chose eight electors to theElectoral College, which selected thepresident andvice president of the United States.
Former Vice PresidentRichard Nixon, the Republican nominee, won the state ofOklahoma with 449,697 votes and 47.68 percent of the vote, with Vice PresidentHubert Humphrey, the Democratic nominee, taking 301,658 votes and 31.99 percent of the vote, followed byAmerican IndependentGeorge Wallace, who took 191,731 votes and 20.33 percent of the vote.[1] Nixon was the first Republican to ever carry Marshall County.
Wallace’s performance is the second-best by a third-party candidate in Oklahoma,[2] behindRoss Perot in1992. Oklahoma was also Wallace's best performance in a state that had not been a part of the Confederacy. The Wallace pluralities inAtoka andPushmataha Counties in the southeast marked the only occasion that a third-party candidate has ever carried any Oklahoma county.
