Card 9 / 15:
What caused the rifts in the Democratic Party in the 1968 election?
Many Democrats disliked the fact that Hubert Humphrey had won the Party’s nomination, even though he had done poorly in all the primaries. In November, many who had supported antiwar candidates Eugene McCarthy and the late Robert Kennedy refused to vote. Others voted for segregationist George Wallace. Some working-class Democrats also voted for Richard Nixon.
