Voting for electors vs. the candidate

It appears that this was the last Presidential election where Alabama voters voted directly for the electors, & not the candidate. In the article on the 1960 election, this fact was explicitly made, while the article for the 1968 election is written with the assumption that Alabama copied the practice of the other 49 states. Is this conclusion correct? If so, how was the electoral law changed after 1960? Answers to details like these need to be added to the relevant articles. -- llywrch (talk) 17:54, 9 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Errant citation

"Johnson was the third winning president-elect to not appear on the ballot in Alabama, after Abraham Lincoln in 1860 and Harry S. Truman in 1948." is not accurate in its Lincoln citation. In 1860 there was no such thing as a "the ballot" provided by a state. That didn't start until the "Australian" system was adopted at the end of the nineteenth century. In 1860 a "ballot" was a "ticket" provided by each political party that the voter would then turn in as their vote, and the Republican Party (six years old at the time) did not print any for Alabama or for any Southern state excepting Virginia. Wikipedia's own pages on the state-by-state results show "No Ballots" for all of these states. That means the political party (not the state) did not provide any. The state itself, like all states, had no "the ballot" for anyone to be on or off. 192.34.130.227 (talk) 20:20, 30 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
