Strong unionisation meant that the state’s predominant poverty-stricken white population did not turn to Wallace in significant numbers.[5] The state’s relative loyalty to Humphrey was enhanced by its deep ties to the New Deal and the resultant unionisation, as in all of Appalachian coal country between the 1930s and 1990s.[6] This was helped by the fact that Johnson focused on this state, alongside Texas and culturally allied Kentucky, as critical for Humphrey’s hope of regaining the White House.[7] Humphrey nonetheless did lose eighteen percent on Johnson’s record performance from 1964.

1968 United States presidential election in West Virginia
^Although he was born in California and he served as a U.S. Senator from California, in 1968 Richard Nixon’s official state of residence was New York, because he moved there to practice law after his defeat in the 1962 California gubernatorial election. During his first term as president, Nixon re-established his residency in California. Consequently, most reliable reference books list Nixon's home state as New York in the 1968 election and his home state as California in the 1972 (and 1960) election.
