The 1960 United States presidential election in Georgia took place on November 8, 1960, as part of the
1960 United States presidential election. Georgia voters chose 12
[2] representatives, or electors, to the
Electoral College, who voted for
president and
vice president.
Georgia was won by
Senator
John F. Kennedy (
D–
Massachusetts), running with Senator
Lyndon B. Johnson, with 62.54% of the popular vote against
incumbent Vice President
Richard Nixon (
R–
California), running with
United States Ambassador to the United Nations
Henry Cabot Lodge Jr., with 37.43% of the popular vote.
[3]
[4] This is the first election where any Georgia county cast more than one hundred thousand votes, namely
Fulton. Following this election Georgia would transfer from being a
Deep South Democratic state, to a
Sun Belt Republican state, and the state has only voted Democratic four times since. This was due to
The Civil Rights Act, and the growth of Atlanta suburban counties such as
Gwinnett and
Cobb, which would not support the Democratic nominee again until
2020, with the exception of Jimmy Carter in 1976.
