George C. Wallace (Rep/AIP)- 21,890,159 52.2% 211 EV
Goldwater Republicans managed to take over the 1968 RNC convention and nominate Wallace, also nominee of the AIP.
Wallace was trailing by double digits until a scandal broke in the final 48 hours. Despite losing, he managed to win the popular vote and carry states outside the south, beating all expectations.
The closest state was Michigan, which was decided by under 1,200 votes.
George Wallace is a democrat so this would have never happened
