The 1964 United States presidential election in Minnesota took place on November 3, 1964, as part of the 1964 United States presidential election. Voters chose ten electors, or representatives to the Electoral College, who voted for president and vice president.
Minnesota was won by the DFL candidate, incumbent President Lyndon B. Johnson, who had assumed the presidency less than a year earlier following the assassination of John F. Kennedy, won the state over U.S. Senator Barry Goldwater of Arizona by a margin of 431,493 votes, or 27.76%. Johnson went on to win the election nationally, by a landslide margin of 22.58% of the popular vote. Goldwater carried only six states, including his home state of Arizona, together with the five southern states of Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, and South Carolina.
In the 1964 election, President Johnson carried Minnesota by a margin of victory that hadn't been seen in a presidential election in the state since Franklin D. Roosevelt carried the state by a margin of 30.83% over Alf Landon in 1936. This margin of victory was aided by the fact that Hubert Humphrey, the state's incumbent U.S. Senator, was on the Democratic ticket for vice president.
To date Johnson's performance is the best ever for a Democrat in Minnesota, in fact, no presidential candidate has since obtained more than 55% of the state's vote in a presidential election. Despite Johnson's emphatic win, 2024 11 as of the 2024 presidential election, this is the last election when Minnesota voted to the right of Alaska, Kentucky or Missouri, but also the last in which Brown County, Redwood County, and Rock County voted for a Democratic presidential candidate. Olmsted County would not vote Democratic again until 2008.Sullivan Robert David http://www.americamagazine.org/content/unconventional-wisdom/how-red-and-blue-map-evolved-over-past-century How the Red and Blue Map Evolved Over the Past Century America Magazine The National Catholic Review June 29, 2016
