Minor Parties In 1960 Vote Final Roundup
A final tally shows 986,233 Americans voted for minor party presidential candidates in November 1960. Kennedy would still win the Electoral College without these votes, though he did gain 406,176 Liberal votes in New York where the Liberal party backed him. Nixon could have won the popular vote with fewer minor-party votes, but not necessarily the presidency. Minor parties ranged from States Rights to Socialist Labor across 16 states, with varied impact on the election.
