George Wallace's best counties outside the South

[Adlai Stevenson]

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.

And Humphrey probably carried Texas due to Wallace; being LBJ's Vice President helped also obviously. 

[Adlai Stevenson]

Wallace got 19.39% in St. Charles County, MO while getting 11% total in MO.

He also got 19.95% in Daviess County, KY and he got 18% in Kentucky

And he got a higher percentage in Oklahoma than Texas. Including 25% in Comanche County, OK and 20% in Muskogee County, OK

He carried Pemiscot County, MO.
