Looks like he did pretty well in rural Ohio. Kind of suprising since exactly zero black people live there.

Old working class pro-Vietnam social conservative Democrats who later became Reagan Democrats and are now Republicans.
Maybe some but not most. Compare 1968 returns with 1960 (the last close election). Nixon lost way more votes to Wallace than the Dems did. He nearly lost Ohio because of it too.

Wyandotte includes the (now) majority-black Kansas City, Kansas


Incorrect. 2000 Census says Kansas City is 30% black. No place in Kansas can be majority black Smiley

Kansas City, Missouri is 31% Black

Missouri does have a lot of majority African-American cities though. Including lots of suburbs in St. Louis.

That's 15 white people and 1072 African-Americans

Yes, Missouri is very different from Kansas. Lots of blacks around St. Louis and Kansas City.
