The 1960 United States presidential election in Maryland took place on November 8, 1960, as part of the 1960 United States presidential election. State voters chose nine [2] representatives, or electors, to the Electoral College, who voted for president and vice president.
Maryland was won by Senator John F. Kennedy (D–Massachusetts), running with Senator Lyndon B. Johnson, with 53.61% of the popular vote against incumbent Vice President Richard Nixon (R–California), running with former United States Ambassador to the United Nations Henry Cabot Lodge Jr., with 46.39% of the popular vote. [3] [4]
This is the last time that the losing candidate won a majority of the vote in Kent County. This also marks the last time the Democratic candidate won a majority of the vote in Dorchester County, as it would become the only county in the state to flip from Kennedy to Goldwater and vote Republican thereafter except for a plurality victory by Bill Clinton in 1996. [5]
In this election, Maryland was 7.07% more Democratic than the nation at-large. [6]
