Nixon/Lodge in 1960
That's a lot of electoral votes and popular votes you show going to Robertson and Faubus third party. More than Teddy Roosevelt got in 1912, 88 EV, 17% PV, and more than George Wallace got in 1968, 46 EV, 9% PV. That would easily make this 1960 third party the most successful third party in U.S. history. Nonetheless a very interesting map. It could have happened I suppose.
In your map, JFK would still become President, as I believe the Democrats controlled the House in 1960. Correct me is I'm wrong.
