North Dakota was won by incumbent President Richard Nixon (R–California), with 62.07 percent of the popular vote, against George McGovern (D–South Dakota), with 35.79 percent of the popular vote, a 26.28 percent margin of victory.[3][4] Three other candidates were on the ballot as independents, but only California Congressman John G. Schmitz received a significant vote tally, although even Schmitz received just 2.01 percent of North Dakota's total.
In a state that would reflect McGovern's national results,[5][6] the Democratic nominee only won one county (Rolette) in North Dakota.
