During his first term as president, Nixon re-established his residency in California. Consequently, most reliable reference books list Nixon's home state as New York in the 1968 election and his home state as California in the 1972 (and 1960) election.

Wallace’s performance is the second-best by a third-party candidate in Oklahoma,Thomas, G. Scott; The Pursuit of the White House: A Handbook of Presidential Election Statistics and History, p. 444 0313257957 behind Ross Perot in 1992. Oklahoma was also Wallace's best performance in a state that had not been a part of the Confederacy. The Wallace pluralities in Atoka and Pushmataha Counties in the southeast marked the only occasion that a third-party candidate has ever carried any Oklahoma county.
