Nixon's win in Texas made him the first ever Republican presidential candidate to break sixty percent of Texas' popular vote in a presidential election, surpassing former President Dwight D. Eisenhower's performance of 55.26% in 1956, and even native son [[Lyndon B. Johnson]]'s 63.32% in [[1964 United States presidential election in Texas|1964]]. Nixon is so far the only Republican candidate to break 65% of the state's popular vote. At the county level, 246 of Texas' 254 counties voted for Nixon, all by wide margins except heavily [[African Americans|black]] [[Robertson County, Texas|Robertson County]] where Nixon won by a single vote. Nixon won 22 of Texas' 24 congressional districts – with the [[Texas's 18th congressional district|18th]] ([[Harris County, Texas|Harris County]]) and [[Texas's 20th congressional district|20th]] ([[Bexar County, Texas|Bexar County]]) constituting the only congressional districts McGovern won anywhere in the former [[Confederate States of America|Confederacy]]. McGovern, however, did not win either county each of these districts were located in. |
