---|
The 1972 United States presidential election in North Dakota took place on November 7, 1972, as part of the 1972 United States presidential election. Voters chose three [2] representatives, or electors, to the Electoral College, who voted for president and vice president.
North Dakota was won by incumbent President Richard Nixon (R–California), with 62.07 percent of the popular vote, against George McGovern (D–South Dakota), with 35.79 percent of the popular vote, a 26.28 percent margin of victory. [3] [4] Three other candidates were on the ballot as independents, but only California Congressman John G.
