Doctors had identified cancer in Lurleen Wallace as early as 1961, but had informed her husband and not her. Throughout her race for governor, the couple kept her worsening health a secret. George Wallace maintained his campaign schedule even as the cancer spread and Lurleen became extremely ill.

Nixon’s bid was bolstered by tight wins in California, Ohio and Illinois. If Humphrey had carried all three states, he would likely have won the election. If he’d carried two, Wallace’s bid to push the election into the House of Representatives - then controlled by Democrats - would have been successful.
