What is really interesting is that Thurmond has the lowest percentage over all for a candidate who won at least one state, BUT due to him only running in the south, he ended up getting 17 percent of the on ballot popular vote, and therefore actually only loses to Perot and Roosevelt for most successful over all in popular vote percentage and in terms of electoral vote only loses to Wallace and Roosevelt, so in a way Thurmond was actually the third most successful third party candidacy ever
