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.

Since Nixon lost his home state of New York, this, along with the 1916 election, is one of two times where the winning presidential and vice-presidential candidates lost both of their home states. This is one of three elections between 1888 and 2000 in which the state voted for the national loser, along with 1948 and 1980. This was George Wallace's strongest state in which he won no counties, though he did finish ahead of Humphrey in Dorchester County. In this election, Maryland voted 2.34% to the left of the nation at-large.Dave Leip's Atlas of U.S. Presidential Elections https://uselectionatlas.org/RESULTS/ 2023-06-24 uselectionatlas.org As of , this is the last election in which the winning candidate lost the home state of their running mate.
