Abstract:
Political analysts have worked through numerous amounts of general election votes cast in North Carolina's November primaries. Among many conclusions, one reveals that voting in the state is split on the tickets. Ticket-splitting gave Nixon the 13 electoral votes needed , the first Republican president to do so in North Carolina since Herbert Hoover in 1928. While ticket-splitting also awarded the Republican Party a seat in the US House of Representatives, Democratic senators retained their posts and the entire slate of state offices remains Democratic.
