New York (45)

Kennedy started fast with very surprising strength upstate and came through as well, or better than expected in the City to win by more than 400,000. Republican Rep. Lindeay won downtown; upstate Republican veteran Rep. Tabor was having a close call at 4:30 a.m.

North Carolina (14)

Stayed Democratic with lots of machine help. Early convention Kennedy supporter Terry Sanford won governorship after a tough campaign. Got 115,000 plurality.

Oregon (6)

Mrs. Richard Neuberger won the Senate seat of her late husband by defeating former Republican Gov. Elmo Smith. Nixon carried the state, but not by as great a margin as expected.

Rhode Island (4)

Kennedy, as expected, swept predominantly Catholic Rhode Island, taking the local state ticket with him. Lt. Gov. John Notte, keeping pace with the Kennedy total, upset Republican Gov. Christopher DelSesto. Clairborne Pell, winner of a three-cornered Senatorial primary fight, ran ahead of Kennedy to win by a 150,000 plurality.

South Carolina (8)

If religion was ever thought to have been decisive, this was the state. Republicans had privately counted on it. Yet Kennedy squeaked through by 10,000. Sen. Strom Thurmond, a Democrat who still has not supported the national ticket, won without opposition.

Tennessee (11)

In a doubtful state, Nixon's plurality was 73,000, but Democratic Sen. Ester Kefauver, after a close primary scare, won reelection easily.

Vermont (3)

Republicans retained their supremacy as Gov. Robert Stafford unseated Democratic phenomenon Rep. William Meyer, gubernatorial candidate F. Ray Keyser won easily, and Nixon, like every GOP Presidential candidate in history, took the state's three electoral votes.

Washington (9)

With half the vote in, no one was conceding anything and everybody expected the decision to go to absentee ballots. Democratic Gov. Rosellini in his bid for re-election and Nixon led by less than 2,000.

West Virginia (8)

Senator Jennings Randolph, a Democrat, defeated Governor C. H. Underwood by more than 100,000 votes; Kennedy took advantage of economic unrest and easily won this predominantly Protestant Industrial state.

Wisconsin (12)

Another significant split-ballot: Nixon by 77,000; Democratic Governor Gaylord Nelson by 32,000 in a re-election bid.
