No winner in the Electoral Points format. A Nixon-Humphrey run-off would be scheduled for
Tuesday December 3rd, 1968. The run-off winner would be inaugurated on February 3rd 1969,
two weeks later than the regular January 20th date.
Although (in actual fact) Hubert Humphrey had come on strong after enduring the aftermath
of the stormy 1968 Democratic Convention, it is conceivable that he may not have won an
Electoral Points run-off. For starters, in the initial election he was 12,751 points short
of the 81,510 need-to-win mark, while Richard Nixon was only 9,202 points short. Add to
that, a significantly large portion of George Wallace's 21,933 points came from mostly
conservative voters.
In actual fact, Nixon was the outright winner of the 1968 election.
