Yes, I left out Wallace because he really had no support outside of the Old South, so really wasn’t a ‘threat’ to anybody.

But it was interesting that when the election came he told Nixon he could have all his electoral votes if he needed them............

George Wallace won the Michigan and Maryland primaries on May 16th the day after he was shot.

Despite the shooting effectively ending his 1972 campaign Wallace received the 3rd highest number of Democrat votes in the primaries.

25.8% for Humphrey, 25.3% for McGovern, 23.5% for Wallace. And oddly enough Wallace won 0.3% of the votes in the 1972 Republican primaries.
