Missouri Last State To Decide Election On Sunday
The Associated Press reports Missouri remains the final state to determine its presidential electors with Nixon leading Humphrey by about 7,600 votes and roughly 100,000 absentee ballots still to be counted. Absentee votes account for part of delays across states due to disputed polling places, paper ballot counts, and slow reporting from isolated areas. Alaska, Maryland and Oregon results are noted with Nixon and Humphrey edging closer in totals.
