It wasn't all that close.  Nixon had 301 to Humphrey's 191 
electoral votes, with Wallace taking 46.  I can't imagine any 
Wallace votes going for Humphrey, but it was the Deep Dem south, 
at the time, so perhaps...

The popular vote was closer than this (though the Wallace factor 
was an issue here too), but as we all know the popular vote 
doesn't elect presidents.
