* The Alabama ballot listed no Democratic electors pledged to Johnson. Alabamians cast 210,732 votes for unpledged Democratic electors: had those votes been for Johnson instead, only 109,631 out of the total 70.6 million votes cast for President would have gone to minor party candidates, marking a low for third parties in this century. As it turned out, third-party candidates polled only .5% of the Nov. 3 total.
