The unpledged vote meant that if MS was needed for a candidate to win the electoral college, they wouldn't get it.
It meant that if the Democrats needed Mississippi (and the same thing was tried in Louisiana too but the unpledged slate didn't win) the civil rights plank of their platform had to be retracted. That is all. It was not available to Nixon.
