How many electoral votes did Barry Goldwater get?

Goldwater was libertarian. Certainly not a social conservative. If a purity test were to be applied for social conservativism (including views on homosexuality), Goldwater would have failed it.

Religious freedom? Wasn’t there a case in AZ a few years ago where a religious group was forbidden from convening inside of a member’s home due to a public gathering ordinance?

52 electoral votes; he barely won in AZ and was crushed in TX.

“...Goldwater would have failed it.”

Not so sure. Some of these “social” issues today were not even been on the radar in 1964.
