This was the fifteenth Presidential Election which New Mexico participated in.All fifty states plus The District of Columbia, were part of this presidential election. State voters chose four electors to represent them in the Electoral College, who voted for the President and Vice President. South Dakota Senator George McGovern was nominated to run against Nixon, and was defeated in one of the most lopsided elections in United States history. McGovern lost every state except Massachusetts to Nixon.[1]New Mexico was won by President Richard Nixon by a 24-point landslide, mirroring the national popular vote margin by a near perfect amount and making New Mexico 1.3% more Republican than the nation-at-large. McGovern won only two counties: he comfortably won Rio Arriba County by 12.6 percentage points, and also won San Miguel County by 2.5 percentage points.[2] The 1972 election remains the last when Santa Fe, Taos or Mora Counties provided a Republican majority or plurality,[3] and Nixon won Mora County by a mere thirty votes. At the other extreme, solidly Republican Lea County in the Plains region was won by Nixon by 55.4 percent, and Lincoln County, which had not voted Democrat since Franklin Roosevelt\u2019s 1936 landslide,[3] by 55.9 percent.Results[edit]Results by county[edit]CountyRichard Milhous NixonRepublicanGeorge Stanley McGovernDemocraticJohn George Schmitz[4]American IndependentLinda Jenness[4]Socialist WorkersMargin%#%#%#%#%#Lincoln77.07%2,52821.22%6961.59%520.12%455.85%1,832Lea76.41%12,47821.00%3,4292.50%4090.09%1555.41%9,049Curry75.85%8,39221.84%2,4162.22%2460.09%1054.01%5,976Catron73.49%82924.02%2712.30%260.18%249.47%558Union72.50%1,54523.28%4964.08%870.14%349.23%1,049Roosevelt73.03%4,72724.90%1,6122.04%1320.03%248.12%3,115De Baca71.82%75225.79%2702.29%240.10%146.04%482Quay71.30%3,22425.67%1,1612.94%1330.09%445.62%2,063Chaves70.87%11,49326.49%4,2962.56%4150.07%1244.38%7,197San Juan67.55%10,78826.90%4,2965.18%8280.36%5840.65%6,492Harding68.68%52228.95%2202.37%180.00%039.74%302Otero65.91%7,03327.94%2,9816.05%6460.09%1037.98%4,052Sierra67.47%2,07430.38%9342.02%620.13%437.09%1,140Los Alamos66.09%5,03931.94%2,4351.81%1380.16%1234.16%2,604Eddy64.65%9,92132.84%5,0402.40%3680.11%1731.81%4,881Torrance64.54%1,75833.33%9082.06%560.07%231.20%850Luna63.25%2,95833.35%1,5603.36%1570.04%229.89%1,398Hidalgo63.43%1,05133.92%5622.66%440.00%029.51%489Bernalillo60.80%79,99337.06%48,7532.02%2,6510.13%16523.75%31,240Do\u00f1a Ana59.76%14,56238.64%9,4161.51%3670.09%2121.12%5,146Colfax57.88%2,66340.32%1,8551.78%820.02%117.56%808Valencia56.09%8,23941.60%6,1102.21%3250.10%1414.49%2,129Socorro56.19%2,65842.16%1,9941.52%720.13%614.04%664Santa Fe52.53%12,21146.29%10,7611.10%2550.08%196.24%1,450Grant50.46%4,43146.48%4,0812.98%2620.08%73.99%350Guadalupe51.37%1,29747.60%1,2020.91%230.12%33.76%95Sandoval50.25%3,50747.18%3,2932.42%1690.14%103.07%214McKinley49.74%5,36647.49%5,1242.53%2730.24%262.24%242Taos50.49%3,61748.46%3,4720.91%650.14%102.02%145Mora50.26%1,16548.96%1,1350.65%150.13%31.29%30San Miguel47.71%4,43450.18%4,6631.88%1750.23%21-2.46%-229Rio Arriba42.68%4,35155.34%5,6421.88%1920.10%10-12.66%-1,291References[edit]       (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});after-content-x4"},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"https:\/\/wiki.edu.vn\/en\/wiki24\/#breadcrumbitem","name":"Enzyklop\u00e4die"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https:\/\/wiki.edu.vn\/en\/wiki24\/1972-united-states-presidential-election-in-new-mexico\/#breadcrumbitem","name":"1972 United States presidential election in New Mexico"}}]}]
