Quick Facts Nominee, Party ...

Wyoming was won by the Republican nominees, incumbent President Richard Nixon of California and his running mate Vice President Spiro Agnew of Maryland. Nixon and Agnew defeated the Democratic nominees, Senator George McGovern of South Dakota and his running mate U.S. Ambassador Sargent Shriver of Maryland.

Nixon carried Wyoming with 69.01 percent of the vote to McGovern's 30.47 percent, a victory margin of 38.54 points.^[1] In a state that would reflect McGovern's national results, the Democratic nominee did not win a single county in Wyoming, making Nixon the first Republican to carry Sweetwater County and thus to sweep all of Wyoming’s counties since Warren G. Harding in 1920.^[2]
