The1968 United States presidential election in Virginia took place on November 5, 1968. All 50 states andthe District of Columbia were part of the1968 United States presidential election. Virginia voters chose twelve electors to theElectoral College, which selected thepresident andvice president of the United States.
For over sixty years Virginia had had the most restricted electorate in the United States due toa cumulative poll tax and literacy tests.[2] Virginia would be almost entirely controlled by the conservative DemocraticByrd Organization for four decades,[3] although during the organization's last twenty years of controlling the state it would direct many Virginia voters away from the national Democratic Party due to opposition toblack civil rights and to the fiscal liberalism of theNew Deal.[4] Afterthe Twenty-Fourth Amendment andHarper v. Virginia State Board of Elections, the state's electorate would substantially expand, since the lower classes were no longer burdened by poll taxes. At the same time, the postwar Republican trend of theNortheast-alignedWashington D.C. andRichmond suburbs, which had begun as early as 1944, would accelerate[5] and become intensified by the mobilisation of working-class Piedmont whites against a national Democratic Party strongly associated with black interests.[6]
Among white voters, 51% supported Nixon, 28% supported Wallace, and 21% supported Humphrey.[7][8][9] The Virginia Conservative Party, a pro-segregationist political party in a 1967 party convention, unanimously named George Wallace as president andRonald Reagan as vice president. Neither Wallace nor Reagan wanted to be on their ticket. Wallace did not like the idea, as he thought it would take away votes from his party, and efforts were made to remove them. This was eventually successful, but the Conservative Party did support Wallace in the end.[10]

Virginia was won byRepublican nominee and formerVice PresidentRichard Nixon ofCalifornia with 43.41 percent of the vote, against incumbentVice PresidentHubert Humphrey ofMinnesota with 32.53 percent and former AlabamaGovernorGeorge Wallace who gained 23.55 percent. Nixon also won the national election with 43.42 percent of the vote. Regardless, all candidates had strong regional support in the state; Nixon's votes came mostly fromNorthern Virginia and theAppalachian Mountain areas, while Humphrey's votes were mainly from theTidewater region and unionized coal counties inSouthwest Virginia,[19] which had both benefited from increased voter registration under theVoting Rights Act and been centres of opposition to the Byrd Organization in previous generations. Wallace received his core support in theSouthern Virginia counties,[20] where the core of Byrd machine power had been located.[21]
As of the2024 presidential election[update], this is the last occasion whenPowhatan County voted for a Democratic presidential candidate. It is also the last occasion whenLunenburg County,Mecklenburg County andPittsylvania County havenot voted for the Republican nominee.[22]Essex County would not vote Democratic again until1996, andJames City County would not vote Democratic again until 2020.[23]
Nixon's victory was the first of ten consecutive Republican victories in the state, as Virginia would not vote for a Democratic candidate again untilBarack Obama in2008. Since 2008, Virginia has consistently voted for the Democratic presidential candidate.
