The 1972 United States presidential election in New Mexico took place on November 7, 1972. This was the 15th U.S. Presidential Election which New Mexico participated in. All 50 states and The District of Columbia, were part of the 1972 United States presidential election. New Mexico voters chose four electors to represent them in the Electoral College, who voted for President and Vice President.
New Mexico was won by President Richard Nixon by a 24 point landslide. South Dakota Senator George McGovern was nominated to run against Nixon, and was defeated in one of the most lopsided elections in United States history. McGovern lost every State to Nixon, except Massachusetts.[1]
