Election in Oregon
The 1964 United States presidential election in Oregon took place on November 3, 1964, as part of the 1964 United States presidential election. Voters chose six[2] representatives, or electors, to the Electoral College, who voted for president and vice president.
Oregon was won by incumbent President Lyndon B. Johnson (D–Texas), with 63.72% of the popular vote, against Senator Barry Goldwater (R–Arizona), with 35.96% of the popular vote.[3][4] As of the 2020 presidential election[update], this is the last election in which the following counties voted for a Democratic presidential candidate: Baker, Douglas, Grant, Harney, Klamath, Lake, Polk, Sherman, Umatilla, Union, Wallowa, and Yamhill.[5] Furthermore, Oregon would not vote for a Democratic presidential candidate again until 1988. This also marks the last time that a Democratic presidential nominee has carried a majority of Oregon's counties.
