Election Mosaic: Reports from the Great Centers

The article presents information about election reports from the U.S. states. In many ways New Jersey really told the national election story in the tri-state area that pivots on New York City, New York. Even though politician George Corley Wallace got a low 9 percent of the Jersey vote, it was enough to swing the state to politician Richard M. Nixon, a pattern followed in other industrial states in the nation. Politician Hubert H. Humphrey needed the state if he was to make a real run for the Presidency, and the fact that it voted so strongly Democratic is a credit to the forgive and forget" attitude of those peace Democrats who won the state's June primary. The smallest of the three states in the metropolitan area is by tradition part of New England, but it proved that it is now in the Democratic Party.
