In one of the most lopsided presidential elections of the twentieth century, Republican Richard Nixon defeated Democrat George McGovern in a landslide in 1972. It was a reversal of the 1964 election, just eight years before, when Republican Barry Goldwater was defeated by a similar margin. Nixon hoped that his victory signaled “the emerging Republican majority,” but the president’s Watergate scandal brought an early end to his tenure in office. The table of results that accompanies the map shows: Richard Nixon (Republican) with 520 electoral votes, 47,169,911 popular votes, and 60.7% of the popular vote; George McGovern (Democrat), with 17 electoral votes, 29,170,383 popular votes, and 37.5 % of the popular vote; John Hospers (Libertarian) with 1 electoral vote, 3,674 popular votes, and  0.0 percent of the popular vote.
