Johnson Democratic Lyndon B. Johnson Democratic The 1964 United States presidential election in Alaska took place on November 3, 1964, as part of the nationwide presidential election. Voters chose three representatives, or electors to the Electoral College, who voted for president and vice president. Alaska was won by incumbent President Lyndon B. Johnson (D-Texas) with 65.9% of the popular vote against U.S. Senator Barry Goldwater (R-Arizona) with 34.1%.Statistics of the Presidential and Congressional Election of November 3, 1964 Johnson won the national vote as well, defeating Goldwater and serving a full term after finishing the assassinated John F. Kennedy's term. Johnson's victory in Alaska is the first and only time a Democrat has carried the state, which came amidst a landslide victory in the rest of the country (except for the Deep South and Goldwater's home state of Arizona), and partially because during its first four presidential elections Alaska was not anomalously Republican relative to the nation at-large. The state would become and remain very strongly Republican from 1972 onwards.Counting the Votes; Alaska https://web.archive.org/web/20170107171406/http://www.countingthevotes.com/alaska 2017-01-07 This is also the only time a candidate swept every Borough and Census Area in Alaska.

This is also the only time any presidential candidate has won every single borough in the state. Had Goldwater won the state, Alaska would have never voted Democratic, and it would constitute the Republicans' longest voting streak up to the present day. As of the 2024 presidential election, this is the only time that Matanuska-Susitna, Wrangell, Southeast Fairbanks Census Area, and Ketchikan Gateway voted for a Democratic candidate.Presidential Election of 1964 The Aleutians East, Bristol Bay, Fairbanks North Star, Kodiak Island, and Denali have also not voted Democratic since. Dillingham and Yukon–Koyukuk Census Areas would not vote for the Democratic candidate again until 1980, Haines Borough would not vote for the Democratic candidate again until 1992, Aleutians West Census Area and Lake and Peninsula Borough would not vote for the Democratic candidate again until 1996, and Anchorage would not vote for the Democratic candidate again until 2020. Alaska was one of three states that voted with a certain party for the first time in this election, the other two being Vermont (which also had never gone to a Democrat before) and Georgia (which hadn't gone to a Republican before)--though these two had been states for much longer than Alaska, which had only participated in one previous presidential contest, and broke a streak lasting more than a century.
