No winner in the Electoral Points Proposal format. A run-off between Nixon and
Humphrey 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 12,206 points short of the 76,010 need-to-win mark, while
Richard Nixon was only 8,661 points short. In addition, a significantly large
portion of George Wallace's 20,847 points came from mostly conservative voters.

In actual fact, Nixon was the outright winner of the 1968 election.
