Campaign

George Wallace ran in the Democratic primary, but was defeated by U.S. Senator Daniel Brewster, who served as a surrogate for Johnson. Wallace won a majority of the white vote. [3]

As of the 2020 presidential election, this is the last election in which Harford County, Carroll County, Washington County, Wicomico County, Worcester County, Queen Anne's County and Caroline County voted for a Democratic Presidential candidate. [4]

Anne Arundel County would not vote Democratic again until 2016, while Frederick and Talbot counties would not do so until 2020, with Donald Trump being the first Republican to lose all three of these counties, as well as the statewide white vote, since this election. [4] However, Dorchester County on the Eastern Shore flipped against the trend from Kennedy to Goldwater, reflecting the racial tension in the area at this time and the declaration of martial law in the county by Governor J. Millard Tawes in response; similarly, it would be the only county in the state where George Wallace (who had given a speech there during the 1964 primary campaign) finished in second place four years later, ahead of Democratic Vice President Hubert Humphrey.
