• Source: 1968 United States presidential election in Georgia

The 1968 United States presidential election in Georgia was held on November 5, 1968. American Independent Party candidate George Wallace received the most votes, and won all twelve of the state's electoral college votes.
Wallace, who ran a campaign based upon support for segregation, won all but seventeen of the state's 159 counties. Nixon won ten, all either suburban Atlanta, Athens, or Augusta area counties, or historically pro-Union counties of North Georgia. Owing to Wallace's sweep of almost all of the state south of the Unionist North Georgia counties and outside of Atlanta, Cobb and DeKalb counties were two of only three amongst 210 Southern counties carried by Goldwater for the Republicans for the first time ever or since Reconstruction to vote for Nixon.
With 42.83% of the popular vote, Georgia would prove to be Wallace's fourth strongest state after Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana.
51% of white voters supported Wallace, 36% supported Nixon, and 13% supported Humphrey.
